Political career

At La République en marche

In May 2017 she was nominated as a candidate for La République en Marche in the 2nd constituency of the French overseas . She was elected on June 17, 2017, winning ahead of her competitor Sergio Coronado ( Greens ).

In August 2017, Forteza should deal with the draft of the lois pour la confiance dans la vie politique within the LREM parliamentary group. In relation to the deletion of parliamentary salaries provided for in the text, she spoke out with other parliamentarians for a “mixed system”, “in which the advance payment would be much lower than at present” (“un système mixte, dans lequel l'avance serait bien moins importante qu 'actuellement') is how she quotes the weekly magazine Marianne .

Together with Matthieu Orphelin, she had a website created in 2018 where citizens could formulate questions, some of which were later put to the government.

In 2018 she was appointed rapporteur for the Personal Data Protection Act, which translates two European texts into French law: the règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) and Directive 95/46 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of data . The law was promulgated on June 20, 2018. Forteza took a position in this context "against the commercialization of personal data". She seemed to advocate broad application of the DPSR in the provisions that are left to the free application of the member states.

It was expected that she was appointed in the spring of 2019 to the Secretary of State for the digital economy, but this office was Cédric O transfer. According to Le Figaro , under Forteza, the office would have been more focused on the use of digital technology to revitalize democracy and protect personal data.

In July 2019, on the occasion of the distribution of the posts to which the majority parliamentary group was entitled, she ran for the office of Quaestor of the National Assembly.

In October 2019 she was appointed rapporteur for the joint fact-finding mission on digital identity together with Christine Hennion (co-rapporteur) and Marietta Karamanli (chairwoman).

In January 2020, it presented to the government the parliamentary report "Quantum: the technological change France will not miss", which contains 50 proposals to make France an international leader in this technology . A version containing 37 of the 50 proposals was published.

Criticism of the majority and departure of LREM

Paula Forteza took part in 2019, together with Jean-Pierre Mignard and Aurélien Taché, in the founding of the "Hyperion" movement, which, according to the latter, embodied "the sensitivity of the democratic left" within the majority faction.

On January 28, 2020, in an interview with the broadcaster RMC, announced her departure from La République en marche : she declared that she had waited in vain for a left and ecological turnaround in the movement, expressed deep dissatisfaction with both the substance and the political methods and deplored the lack of dialogue on the part of the leadership and "a party closed to all sides that rewards friendships more than skills".

She supports Cédric Villani in his candidacy in the 19th arrondissement for the 2020 Paris municipal elections and is at the top of his list. In the first ballot they received 5.8% of the vote.

Founding of the EDS group in the National Assembly

Together with Matthieu Orphelin and numerous other dissenters from the LREM group, Paula Forteza founded a new group in the National Assembly in May 2020, the Écologie démocratie solidarité (EDS) group, of which she became co-chair. Since the National Assembly did not recognize the co-presidency, it was decided that the presidency should alternate between Matthieu Orphelin and Paula Forteza every six months.
