Early life and career

edit

Caroline Abadie was born September 7, 1976, in Saint-Martin-d'Hères, Isère.[2][3]

Abadie studied law, and then worked for 15 years as a recruitment consultant in the Île-de-France. In 2010, she and her husband ran a bed and breakfast in Grenay, Isère [4] which she gave up when she ran for office.[5]

Political career

edit

Abadie was elected to the National Assembly as a delegate for the eighth constituency of Isère in the second round of the 2017 French elections. She received 63% of the vote, beating out National Rally candidate Thibaut Monnier.[6]

In parliament, Abadie has since been serving on the Committee on Legal Affairs.[7][8]

From November 2017, Abadie was part of LREM's executive board under the leadership of the party's successive chairmen Christophe Castaner and Stanislas Guerini.[9]

Along with Joaquim Pueyo, Abadie co-chairs the study group "Prisons and prison conditions". She also participates in the “Participatory democracy and e-democracy" and "Fight against addictions" study groups.[2]

She was re-elected in the 2022 election.

She withdrew from the 2024 snap election after finishing third in the first round.[10]

Political positions

edit

Abadie supports labor code reform in favor of adapting to different companies. She says that "... we can no longer have the same code for a multinational company as a company with two employees. It is too rigid." She also thinks that the National Assembly should have more entrepreneurs like herself: "It is important that it has people that put together businesses and create jobs."[6]

In July 2019, Abadie voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union's Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[11]
