Stéphane Trompille


Stéphane Trompille is a French politician representing La République En Marche!. He was elected to the French National Assembly on 18 June 2017, representing the department of Ain.

Political career

Having previously been an active member of the Socialist Party, Trompille joined LREM in 2017.
In parliament, Trompille serves as member of the Committee on National Defense and the Armed Forces. In this capacity, he co-authored 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. 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 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.
In addition to his committee assignments, Trompille is part of the Assembly’s delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

Political positions

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.
