Political career

From 2005, Questel was a member of the Socialist Party. In the party's primaries ahead of the 2017 presidential election, he endorsed Arnaud Montebourg; when Benoît Hamon became the party's candidate, Questel left and joined LREM.

In parliament, Questel serves on the Committee on Legal Affairs.[2] In this capacity, he was the parliament's rapporteur on a proposal to establish a municipal police in Paris (2019)[3] and (alongside Raphaël Schellenberger) on territorial reforms (2019).[4] In addition to his committee assignments, Questel chairs the French-Kosovar Parliamentary Friendship Group.

In early 2018, Questel was one of several LREM member who joined an informal parliamentary working group on Islam set up by Florent Boudié in order to contribute to the government's bill aimed at better organising and supervising the financing of the Muslim faith in France.[5]

Since October 2018, Questel has been serving as one of five deputy chairpersons of the LREM parliamentary group, under the leadership of chairman Gilles Le Gendre.[6] In December 2018, around 40 protesters of the yellow vests movement fired six shotgun rounds in front of Questel’s home and he received many threatening letters.[7]

Political positions

In July 2019, Questel voted in favour of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[8]
