Political career
From 1995 to his election as parliamentarian in 2017, Jolivet was the mayor Saint-Maur as a member of the Union for a Popular Movement and then the Miscellaneous right.[2]
In parliament, Jolivet serves on the Finance Committee. In addition to his committee assignments, he is a member of the French-Russian Parliamentary Friendship Group and of the French delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).[3]
Political positions
In July 2019, Jolivet decided not to align with his 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.[4]
In early 2019, together with around twenty other LREM members, Jolivet proposed to re-establish a solidarity tax on wealth, which had been abolished the previous year.[5]
