Political positions

In July 2019, Moreau voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[5] In mid-2019, French anti-government protesters put up a large poster of Moreau with the word “Wanted” on it outside a local government building in Creuse, in an effort to protest against his support CETA.[6]
