Political career

Previously employed in a Luxembourg bank, Paluszkiewicz relied on his family to finance his 33,000 euro campaign expenses for the 2017 elections.[4]

In parliament, Paluszkiewicz served as member of the Finance Committee and the Committee on European Affairs. In addition to his committee assignments, he is part of the parliamentary friendship groups with Cuba, Luxembourg and Singapore.[5]

He lost his seat in the 2022 French legislative election to Martine Etienne from NUPES.[6] He was defeated with 48.06% of the vote to his opponent's 51.94%.

Political positions

In July 2019, Paluszkiewicz decided not to align with his parliamentary group's majority, and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[7]
