Political career

Rebeyrotte was a member of the Socialist Party (PS) until 2012.[2]

In Parliament, Rebeyrotte serves on the Committee on Legal Affairs. In addition to his committee assignments, he is part of the French Parliamentary Friendship Group with Burkina Faso.[3]

When Richard Ferrand was elected President of the National Assembly, Rebeyrotte stood as a candidate to succeed him as president of the LREM parliamentary group. In an internal vote, he came in last out of seven; the position went to Gilles Le Gendre instead.[4]

On July 12, 2022, to criticize a far-right opponent, Rebeyrotte made the Nazi gesture in the hemicycle of the French National Assembly. He received only a simple call to order as a sanction on July 25. The National Rally pary of Marine Le Pen then filed a complaint following these events against Rebeyrotte.[5]

Political positions

Rebeyrotte was one of 36 LREM members who voted against a ban of glyphosate.[6]
