Like his party colleagues, Maurel joined the Social Democratic parliamentary group . He became a member of the committee on international trade , the special committee on tax rulings and other measures of a similar nature or effect , the committee of inquiry to examine alleged violations of Union law and abuses in the application of same in connection with money laundering, tax avoidance and tax evasion , as well as in the special committee Financial crime, tax evasion and tax avoidance .

He then left his party disappointed, as well as from the parliamentary group in the European Parliament. After a short non-attached period, he moved to the politically more left-wing Confederal Group of the European United Left / Nordic Green Left . Together with his fellow party member Marie-Noëlle Lienemann , who also resigned , he founded the party Alternative pour un program républicain, écologiste et socialiste (APRÉS) in October 2018 . APRÉS and the Mouvement républicain et citoyen merged in February 2019, since then the party has called itself Gauche républicaine et socialiste (Republican and Socialist Left, GRS).
Re-election to the European Parliament
For the 2019 European elections , Maurel ran for the sixth place in the list of the La France insoumise party . The party won 6.31 and thus 6 of the 79 French mandates, so that Maurel narrowly defended his mandate. He rejoined the Confederal Group of the European United Left / Nordic Green Left . For the parliamentary group he is again a member of the Committee on International Trade , and he is also a deputy member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Legal Committee .
