Political career

In parliament, Barrot serves as a member of the Finance Committee.[3] In this capacity, he co-authored (with Bénédicte Peyrol) draft legislation in 2018 to combat large-scale tax evasion and avoidance schemes through dividend stripping in the wake of the CumEx Files revelations.[4]

In addition to his committee assignments, Barrot is a member of the French-Uruguayan Parliamentary Friendship Group.[5]

In late 2017, Barrot was appointed by President of the National Assembly François de Rugy to chair a 10-member working group on reforming the parliament. The group submitted two reports, in 2017 and 2018, respectively.[6]

From February 2018, Barrot served as spokesman of MoDem, in tandem with Sarah El Haïry.[7] He eventually succeeded Yann Wehrling as Secretary General of MoDem in December 2018, serving under the leadership of the party's chairman François Bayrou.[8]

Political positions

In June 2020, Barrot (together with Patrick Mignola) proposed a law to introduce mail-in voting to facilitate voting during the public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in France.[9][10]
