In 2020, Serva was the only member of the LREM group who abstained from the inaugural vote of confidence on the government of Prime Minister Jean Castex.[3]
Political positions
Serva apologized for saying in 2012 that homosexuality was an "abomination".[4]
In 2020, Serva was one of ten LREM members who voted against his parliamentary group's majority and opposed a much discussed security bill drafted by his colleagues Alice Thourot and Jean-Michel Fauvergue that helps, among other measures, curtail the filming of police forces.[5][6]
