Early life and education

Vallaud studied at Lycée Louis-Barthou in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques and then graduated from École nationale d'administration (ENA) in 2004, alongside Emmanuel Macron.[2]

Political career

From 2013 until 2014, Vallaud served as chief of staff to Ministry of the Economy and Finance Arnaud Montebourg. He subsequently worked on the staff of President François Hollande from 2014 until 2016.[3][4]

In parliament, Vallaud serves as member of the Committee on Social Affairs.[5] In addition to his committee assignments, he is a member of the French-Lebanese Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Political positions

Vallaud was one of only five Socialist MPs who did not vote in favor of confirming Prime Minister Édouard Philippe's government in 2017. He was later considered as one of the sharpest critics of the Philippe government.[6]

Ahead of the Socialist Party's 2018 convention in Aubervilliers, Vallaud publicly endorsed Olivier Faure as candidate for the party's leadership.[7]

In response to a 2019 law authorizing the sale of the government's controlling stake in Groupe ADP, Vallaud led a cross-party initiative which called for a referendum to overturn the legislation, citing concerns over the loss of government revenue and influence.[8][9]
