Political career
Having previously been an active member of the Socialist Party, Trompille joined LREM in 2017.[2]
In parliament, Trompille serves as member of the Committee on National Defense and the Armed Forces.[3] In this capacity, he co-authored (with Olivier Becht) a parliamentary report on space defence in 2019, calling on the Ministry of the Armies to upgrade its capabilities given the proliferation of competitors and potential enemies.[4] In late 2019, he was one of 17 members of the committee who co-signed a letter to Prime Minister Édouard Philippe in which they warned that the 365 million euro ($406 million) sale of aerospace firm Groupe Latécoère to U.S. fund Searchlight Capital raised “questions about the preservation of know-how and France’s defense industry base” and urged government intervention.[5][6]
In addition to his committee assignments, Trompille is part of the Assembly’s delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.[7]
Political positions
In July 2019, Trompille voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[8]
Along with four other LREM members – Cécile Rilhac, Jean-Michel Mis, Coralie Dubost, and Eric Bothorel –, Trompille disassociated himself from their colleague Aurore Bergé when the latter announced her intention in October 2019 to vote for a Republican draft law banning the wearing of the hijab by women accompanying groups of students on school outings.[9]
