Cécile Rilhac


Cécile Rilhac is a French politician of La République En Marche! who has been serving as a member of the French National Assembly since 18 June 2017, representing the department of Val-d'Oise.

Political career

In parliament, Rilhac serves on the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education. In addition to her committee assignments, she is part of the French-Algerian Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Political positions

In 2018, Rilhac joined other co-signatories around Sébastien Nadot in officially filing a request for a commission of inquiry into the legality of French weapons sales to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, days before an official visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Paris.
In June 2019, Rilhac was one of four members of the LREM parliamentary group who joined a cross-party initiative to legalize the distribution and use of cannabis. Along with four other LREM members – Coralie Dubost, Jean-Michel Mis, Stéphane Trompille, and Eric Bothorel –, she disassociated herself from their colleague Aurore Bergé when the latter announced her intention in October 2019 to vote for a Republican draft law banning the wearing of the hijab by women accompanying groups of students on school outings.
