After being nominated as Under-secretary for French expatriates affairs, he removed his name from the bill and explained his reasons in an interview for lepetitjournal.com and during the Assembly of the Representatives of the French living abroad.[2]

In the UMP's 2012 leadership election, Courtial endorsed Jean-François Copé.[3]

In the Republicans’ 2016 presidential primaries, Courtial endorsed Nicolas Sarkozy as the party's candidate for the office of President of France.[4] In the Republicans’ 2017 leadership election, he endorsed Laurent Wauquiez.[5]
