Anne-Christine Lang (born 10 August 1961) is a French politician who has been serving as a member of the
Political career
In Parliament, Lang serves as member of the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education.[2] In this capacity, she was – alongside Fannette Charvier – her parliamentary group's rapporteur on l'école de la confiance, legislation introduced by Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer to restructure the French education system from nursery through to middle school.[3] In 2020, Lang joined En commun (EC), a group within LREM led by Barbara Pompili.[4]
Political positions
In July 2019, Lang 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.[5]
For the 2020 Paris municipal election, Lang went against the party line and endorsed Cédric Villani over Benjamin Griveaux as candidate for the mayorship.[6]
In September 2020, Lang initiated a walkout of National Assembly members in protest of a woman in a hijab addressing a parliamentary commission. Lang said that as a feminist she could not accept the "mark of submission".[7] In February 2022, she went against the party line again and was one of six LREM legislators who supported the Republicans’ motion for a ban on wearing hijabs in sports competitions.[8]
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in France, Lang led a group of 41 LREM deputies in March 2021 who proposed that, in order to mitigate the public distrust of the Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine, politicians volunteer to get vaccinated.[9]
