Life

After graduating from high school, Véran studied medicine and business management and health policy in Paris .

In the 2012 parliamentary elections , he stood as deputy to Geneviève Fioraso . After this was appointed to the government, Véran moved up in July 2012 as a representative of the 1st constituency of the Isère department in the National Assembly.

In the National Assembly, Véran initiated a bill to prohibit fashion companies in France from employing underweight models. Models should only be allowed to work if a doctor has confirmed a body mass index (BMI) of 18. The bill did not get the necessary majority in the National Assembly.

He was involved in the regional elections in 2015 for the PS and after the election he moved to the parliament of the newly created Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region .

The next day the public prosecutor announced that nine complaints against members of the Philippe government had been declared admissible. The Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) conducts the proceedings. In the crisis months of March, April and June 2020, almost 30,000 people died of the Covid-19 virus; many clinics in France were overloaded.
