Political career
In parliament, Rixan served on the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education from 2017 until 2020 before moving to the Committee on Social Affairs. In addition to her committee assignments, she chairs the French-Maltese Parliamentary Friendship Group.[2]
Political positions
In July 2019, Rixain voted in favour of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[3]
In 2020, Rixain went against her parliamentary group's majority and abstained from an important vote on a much discussed security bill drafted by her colleagues Alice Thourot and Jean-Michel Fauvergue that helps, among other measures, curtail the filming of police forces.[4][5]
