Political career

In parliament, Fontenel-Personne serves as member of the Defense Committee.[2] In addition to her committee assignments, she is a member of the French-Montenegrin Parliamentary Friendship Group. Since 2019, she has also been a member of the French delegation to the Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly.

In July 2019, Fontenel-Personne decided not to align with her parliamentary group’s majority and became 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.[3]

In late 2019, Fontenel-Personne 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.[4][5]

Also in late 2019, Fontenel-Personne left LREM, expressing disagreement with the functioning of the party.
