Political career

Colas-Roy joined the Socialist Party (PS) following right-wing candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen's qualification for the second round of the 2002 presidential election. He eventually left the PS in 2014.[2]

In parliament, Colas-Roy serves on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. From 2019 until 2020, he was also a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs. In this capacity, he is in charge of environmental issues within LREM.[3] In addition to his committee assignments, he is part of the French-Spanish Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]

In September 2018, following the appointment of François de Rugy to the government, Colas-Roy supported the candidacy of Barbara Pompili as president of the National Assembly.[5] When Richard Ferrand was elected instead, he stood as a candidate to succeed him as chairman of the LREM parliamentary group. His candidacy was endorsed by Pompili, among others.[6] In an internal vote, however, he came in sixth out of seven; the position went to Gilles Le Gendre instead.[7]

Political positions

In October 2020, Colas-Roy publicly opposed the government of Prime Minister Jean Castex when he called for fellow MPs to vote against the reintroduction of neonicotinoid pesticides to fight a disease affecting beetroots.[8][9]
