Political career
editHaving previously been affiliated with the Socialist Party, Bagarry joined LREM in 2016.[3]
In parliament, Bagarry served on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. In addition to her committee assignments, she was part of the French-Vanuatu Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]
In 2018, Bagarry 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.[5] In 2019, she was one of five members of the LREM parliamentary group who joined a cross-party initiative to legalize the distribution and use of cannabis.[6][7]
In March 2020, Bagarry left LREM after Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced he would push through a controversial pensions bill by executive decree.[8][9] In May 2020, she was one of the 17 initial members of the short-lived Ecology Democracy Solidarity group.
By June 2020, Bagarry and five other ex-LREM deputies announced the establishment of #Nous Demain, a "humanist, ecologist and feminist" political movement.[10]
In December 2020 she joined The New Democrats.[11]
In the 2022 French legislative election, Bagarry stood as a NUPES candidate. She lost her seat in the second round to Christian Girard from the National Rally.[12]
