Brexit Perspective from both side of the Channel
and the current political situation in both France and the U.K.

Guest Speakers:
Alexandre Holroyd
Member of the French Parliament
Representing French citizens in the north of Europe
 

Picture
A member of Emmanuel Macron's En Marche movement, Alexandre Holroyd was elected as a député in the National Assembly on the 18th June 2017 representing French citizens living in Northern Europe (UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Latvia, Finland, Lithuania, Estonia and Iceland).
 
A Franco-British citizen, Alexandre grew up in London where he attended the French Lycée Charles de Gaulle before studying at King's College, LSE and Sciences Po. A fervent supporter of the European project and an EU-policy expert, he joined a global business advisory firm working first in Brussels and then in London. Prior to his election, he co-founded En Marche! UK, the British branch of Emmanuel Macron's movement.
 
In the Assembly, he sits on the Finance Commission for which he is the special rapporteur on a mission focusing on the public finances of the INSEE and the Banque de France. As a member of the European Affairs Commission, he was in charge of co-writing a special report on the Eurozone governance.
 
Deeply committed to the Franco-British relationship, he is the President of the Franco-British parliamentary friendship group and a member of the Franco-British Young Leaders. He was the rapporteur in charge of the Brexit bill at the French national Assembly, which allowed the government to take the necessary measures in case of a no-deal Brexit.
