Jean-Christophe Cambadélis

[4] In addition to his committee assignments, he was part of the French-Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group.

[5] Amid the MNEF affair in 2006, Cambadélis was found guilty along with several other Socialists of having used a student mutual fund for political purposes and given a suspended jail sentence and a fine of 20 000 euros.

[9] During his time in office, Cambadélis announced the party’s first-ever two-round left-wing primary to decide on its candidate for the 2017 presidential elections, allowing challengers to incumbent President François Hollande.

[10] Citing the urgency of the fight against far-right leader Marine Le Pen, Cambadélis endorsed Emmanuel Macron ahead of the presidential elections.

[14] When the Socialist Party agreed with the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI) to run together in the parliamentary elections in an effort to deprive re-elected President Emmanuel Macron of a majority, Cambadélis called on fellow members to block the deal, arguing it could mark the end of a pro-EU force on the left.
