Blandine Brocard (born 3 November 1981) is a French politician of La République En Marche! (LREM) who was elected to the French National Assembly in the 2017 elections, representing the department of Rhône.
Political career
In parliament, Brocard serves on the Committee on Social Affairs.
In late 2020, Brocard left the LREM group and instead joined the MoDem group. She was re-elected in the 2022 election.
Political positions
In October 2017, Brocard joined forces with Éric Alauzet to call for a moratorium on the government's plans for extending vaccination requirements for young children.
In July 2019, Brocard decided not to align with her parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.
In September 2019, Brocard voted against the party line and opposed new rules on providing access to assisted reproductive technology (ART) to all women.
