Virginie Rozière

Virginie Rozière (French pronunciation: [viʁʒini ʁozjɛʁ]; born 18 June 1976) is a French politician of the Radical Party of the Left (PRG) who served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 2014 until 2019.

[3] In this capacity, she served as rapporteur on legislation to protect whistleblowers in the aftermath of scandals such as LuxLeaks or the Panama Papers.

Rozière and Stéphane Saint-André [fr] spoke in opposition to the merger, and instead chose to leave the PRG and form a new party, Les Radicaux de gauche [fr] (LRDG, the "Left Radicals").

[5] Before the 2019 European Parliament election, LRDG at first found an agreement for a common candidacy with PS and Place Publique.

However, shortly after the PRG cancelled the merger in March 2019, LRDG dropped from the candidate lists and Rozière did not stand for reelection, citing PRG influence on PS for the failure of the common candidacy.
