Perrine Goulet (pronounced as /fr/; born 19 March 1978) is a French politician of La République En Marche! (LREM) who was elected to the French National Assembly on 18 June 2017, representing the department of Nièvre.[1]
In parliament, Goulet served on the Finance Committee from 2017 until 2020 before moving to the Committee on Social Affairs. In addition to her committee assignments, she is a member of the French-Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group.[2]
In September 2018, following the appointment of François de Rugy to the government, Goulet announced her candidacy to succeed him as president of the National Assembly; the position instead went to Richard Ferrand.[3] She later endorsed Amélie de Montchalin as a candidate to succeed him as chairman of the LREM parliamentary group; instead, the position went to Gilles Le Gendre.[4] In July 2019, she challenged Le Gendre for the group's leadership; Le Gendre was subsequently re-elected in the first round, with Goulet coming in fourth out of seven candidates.[5]
In late 2020, Goulet left the LREM group and instead joined the MoDem group.[6]
In July 2019, Goulet 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.[7]
