Angélique Delahaye (born 22 February 1963) is a French agricultural trade unionist and politician. She was the president of the Fédération nationale des producteurs de légumes (English: National Federation of Vegetable Producers) from 2001 to 2012, and a member of the board of directors of the Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles (English: National Federation of Agricultural Holders' Unions). She served as a Member of the European Parliament from 2014 to 2019, and was mayor of Saint-Martin-le-Beau from 2014 to 2020.
Delahaye was born in Lyon and grew up in Soisy-sur-Seine. She started her agricultural career in 1989, running a family vegetable farm with her husband Thierry in Saint-Martin-le-Beau, Touraine. In 1991, she joined the board of directors of the Fédération nationale des producteurs de légumes (FNPL) (English: National Federation of Vegetable Producers), a branch of the Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles (FNSEA) (English: National Federation of Agricultural Holders' Unions). She became president of the FNPL, and thus a member of the board of directors of the FNSEA, in 2001, holding the position until 2012.[1] Since 2013 she has also been president of Solaal (Association Solidarité des producteurs agricoles et agroalimentaires) (English: Solidarity association of agricultural and agro-food producers), and has received the ranks of Knight and Officer of the Legion of Honour for her work, having been most recently promoted to Officer in July 2021.[2]
Delahaye entered politics in 2010, supported by Hervé Novelli, with whom she had previously worked when he was Secretary of State for Trade. She was elected a regional councilor for Centre-Val de Loire in the 2010 French regional elections, and subsequently resigned from her position in the FNSEA. In March 2014, she was elected mayor of Saint-Martin-le-Beau at the head of a UMP majority.
In May 2014, Delahaye was elected to the European Parliament, with the support of Bruno Le Maire and Jean-François Copé who campaigned for Brice Hortefeux to make her his running mate.[3]
In January 2020, Delahaye announced she would be running for a second term as mayor of Saint-Martin-le-Beau. She was defeated by Alain Schnel in the first round of voting in March, receiving 39.03% of votes.[4] [5]
