Political career

In parliament, Lacresse has since been serving on the Finance Committee.[2]

In addition to his committee assignments, Lacresse is part of the French delegation to the Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly and the French parliamentary friendship groups with the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Oman.[2] According to the Uber Files, he is perceived by lobbyists for the American company Uber as a privileged interlocutor likely to help it beyond its "official attributions".[3] On this subject, on July 11, 2022, Emmanuel Lacresse declared to the newspaper Le Monde that "Emmanuel Macron's political line as Minister of the Economy has always been constant, public and clear, on Uber as on other innovative companies: to promote the development of new services for the French and support the transformation of economic sectors disrupted by innovations". He denies any intervention on Uber's behalf: "The Minister has never intervened in any legal proceedings whatsoever concerning Uber. Nor have instructions been given to the DGCCRF (Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes) specifically concerning Uber.[4]
