Virginie Rozière (born June 18, 1976 in Montpellier ) is a French politician ( PRG , then Les Radicaux de Gauche ). She was a member of the European Parliament from 2014 to 2019 .

Life

After studying engineering at the École polytechnique and ENSTA ParisTech (degrees in 2000 and 2002 respectively), Rozière worked as a project manager at the French Ministry of Defense, then at the Ministry of Economics and Finance. From 2010 to 2012 she worked in the secretariat of the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) of the European Parliament . Afterwards she was deputy chief of staff of her party colleague Sylvia Pinel , who was Minister for Crafts, Trade and Tourism from 2012 to 2014. She is a judo master (3rd Dan ).

In the 2014 European elections , Rozière was the top candidate for the joint list of her left-liberal Parti radical de gauche (PRG) and the Parti socialiste (PS) in the constituency of southwest France. This received 15.7% of the vote and Rozière moved into the European Parliament, where she sat in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Social Democrats (S&D). She was a member of the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection and a delegate for relations with Japan. She was also co-chair of the European Parliament Platform for Secularism in Politics alongside the Dutchwoman Sophie in 't Veld .

In the regional election in December 2015 , she was elected to the regional council of the newly created region of Occitania (merger of the regions Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées ) on the joint list of the PS, PRG and smaller center-left parties (led by Carole Delga ) . In June 2016, Rozière was appointed President of the Regional Tourism Committees ( Comité Régional du Tourisme , CRT) of the two old regions, which she united to become the CRT Occitania in 2017.

Rozière rejected the merger of her party PRG with the Parti radical valoisien to form the Mouvement radical . Instead, she founded the splinter party Les Radicaux de Gauche (LRDG) in December 2017 , which she runs together with the former MP Stéphane Saint-André . Ahead of the European elections in 2019 her party was initially a list conjunction with HP and the new party Place publique by Raphaël Glucksmann one. However, this only gave her the hopeless 10th place on the list, which is why she canceled the agreement again. At the end of the legislative period in June 2019, she left the European Parliament.
