Political career

Jerretie was mayor of Naves for three years before getting into parliament.[3]

In parliament, Jerretie serves on the Finance Committee and the Committee on European Affairs. In addition to his committee assignments, he is a member of the French-Swedish Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]

In July 2019, Jerretie challenged incumbent chairman Gilles Le Gendre for the leadership of the LREM parliamentary group; Le Gendre was subsequently re-elected in the first round, with Jerretie coming in sixth out of seven candidates.[5]

In 2020, Jerretie left the LREM group and instead joined the MoDem group.[6][7]

Political positions

In 2019, Jerretie was one of nine MPs from the LREM parliamentary group who voted against the party line and opposed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[8]
