A candidate in the 2022 legislative elections in the 2nd constituency of the
Territoire de Belfort, he faces Sophie Carnicer, the
National Rally candidate known for “making a fool of herself” during a
Talk show, in the second round. Narrowly elected against Carnicer, he was then the only left-wing deputy from
Franche-Comté in the 16th legislature. In 2024, just two years after his election, he was defeated in the second round by his rival
Guillaume Bigot (politician) of the
National Rally by a few hundred votes. During this campaign, he was notably targeted by a complaint for “defamation and public insult” after calling his opponent a racist in one of his leaflets. == See also ==
