Political career

In parliament, Baichère serves on the Defense Committee. In addition to his committee assignments, he is a member of the French delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).[2]

In late 2019, Baichère was one of 17 members of the Defense Committee who co-signed a letter to Prime Minister Édouard Philippe in which they warned that the 365 million euro ($406 million) sale of aerospace firm Groupe Latécoère to U.S. fund Searchlight Capital raised “questions about the preservation of know-how and France’s defense industry base” and urged government intervention.[3][4] Also in 2019, he co-sponsored legislation to create a framework for wide-ranging tests of facial recognition software for government services.[5]
