Political career

In parliament, Barrot serves as a member of the Finance Committee.[3] In this capacity, he co-authored (with Bénédicte Peyrol) draft legislation in 2018 to combat large-scale tax evasion and avoidance schemes through dividend stripping in the wake of the CumEx Files revelations.[4]

In addition to his committee assignments, Barrot is a member of the French-Uruguayan Parliamentary Friendship Group.[5]

In late 2017, Barrot was appointed by President of the National Assembly François de Rugy to chair a 10-member working group on reforming the parliament. The group submitted two reports, in 2017 and 2018, respectively.[6]

From February 2018, Barrot served as spokesman of MoDem, in tandem with Sarah El Haïry.[7] He eventually succeeded Yann Wehrling as Secretary General of MoDem in December 2018, serving under the leadership of the party's chairman François Bayrou.[8]

gollark: If the stuff about ridiculous manipulation and monopolization of advertising markets is accurate, then that seems very bad. Regardless, Google has repeatedly shown itself to be very monopolistic generally and to have no regard for privacy.
gollark: There might be worse companies, but I don't think that makes Google very good.
gollark: It is not a good example of self regulation.
gollark: This is just a PR thing, and centralises power in their hands since they also control the most popular browser.
gollark: Yes, by me, in the jurisdiction I made up.
