Sébastien Nadot

On 2 March 2022, he announced he wouldn't be standing in the 2022 French legislative election.

He co-organised and chaired the international colloquium "Dialoguer Entre Ennemis" in May 2021, to which participated 2018 Nobel Prize Denis Mukwege, Sinn Féinn's former president Gerry Adams, former Knesset President Avraham Burg among others. The aim of this colloquium was to build exchanges between former enemies about the peaceful resolution of conflicts. The five geographical areas tackled were Democratic Republic of Congo, Northern Ireland, Colombia, Israel and the Basque Country.

On May the 5th 2021 he became president of the newly created parliamentary inquiry commission on migrations, population displacements and the conditions of life and access to law for migrants, refugees and stateless regarding France's national, European and international commitments. It aims to confront the application of the law regarding France's values and principles, as well as its international commitments.

During the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 Sébastien Nadot supported the cause of Catalan parliamentarians imprisoned in Spain. He has defended their right to exerce their European parliamentary mandate, as their parliamentary immunity was lifted. He asked French European and Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian about this matter to which the Minister replied by affirming his support to the Spanish rule of law and to the European Parliament's power to lift the immunity. Mr Nadot visited the Catalan Parliament in order to reaffirm his support to imprisoned parliamentarians.

In 2018, Nadot and 15 other co-signatories officially filed 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.

Nadot was an associate professor of physical education and sports, also a doctor of history. He was an associate member of the EESC (Economic, Social and Environmental Council), employment and labor section, from December 2015 to 18 June 2017. He is a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of La Francophonie. Sitting on the Foreign Affairs Committee, after officially calling on the government in a written question, he is against the sale of French weapons used by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to bomb the civilian population of Yemen on a daily basis. In an interview given on the program "Quotidien" of 23 February 2018 presented by Yann Barthès he clearly asks to suspend arms sales to Arab states of the Persian Gulf that use it on civilian populations, in line with a resolution of the European Parliament. On 6 April 2018 he filed a request for the opening of a commission of inquiry to the National Assembly on the respect of France's international commitments with regard to arms export licenses in Yemen. He is also very involved on the issue of human rights in Cameroon, stressing the risks of an eruption of violence in the English-speaking area which is reminiscent of the process that led to the genocide in Rwanda.

Citizen candidate for the 2017 presidential election supported by the Progressists Movement, which promotes a new democratic dynamic around three pillars: social progress that benefits all, the environmental filter posed prior to any public decision and the participation of citizens decision-making phases of political action. He says he wants to erase the line between the political elite and the citizens. His candidacy was initially to be inserted in the primary citizen of 2017 but the first secretary of the PS Jean-Christophe Cambadélis withdrew it. To block François Fillon and Marine Le Pen, he made a call to the gathering of "progressive forces" for the presidential election addressed to Emmanuel Macron, Jean-Luc Melenchon, Charlotte Marchandise and Yannick Jadot.

In January 2017, Nadot published a political tale titled Reinette 2.0. In this novel, he discusses the relationship between democracy, the Internet and social networks.

In February 2017, faced with the difficulty of collecting the 500 sponsorships needed to run for the presidential election, he announced his withdrawal, to support Emmanuel Macron personally and joined the political council of En marche!

Nadot was selected by En marche! to be their candidate in the legislative elections on the 10th district of Haute-Garonne. He was elected with 60.7% of the votes int the second round. In parliament, he serves on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In addition to his committee assignments, he chairs the France - Québec Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Nadot has taught at various secondary and university educational institutions and Apprenticeship Training Center (Mantes-la-Jolie, Orleans, Bourges, Nice, Toulouse, several institutions of Haute-Garonne). Holder of a PhD in history and civilizations from EHESS Paris (2009), he also taught history at the University of Orleans (1998-2003) and the University of Nice (2005-2008).
