Marie-Noëlle Lienemann (born 12 July 1951, in Belfort) is a French politician who served as Member of the European Parliament for the North West of France.[1] Until 2018, she was a member of the Socialist Party, part of the Party of European Socialists.

Early life and education

[edit]

Lienemann studied chemistry at the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan).

Political career

[edit]

Lienemann was part of the European Parliament's delegation to the 2008 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznań, Poland.[2]

Ahead of the Socialist Party's 2011 primaries, Lienemann endorsed Martine Aubry as the party's candidate for the 2012 presidential election.[3]

In 2012, Lienemann co-founded the "Now The Left" grouping alongside Emmanuel Maurel. Together they urged President François Hollande to abandon the government's 2013 deficit targets and embark on a dash for growth.[4] Following the Socialist Party's losses in the 2014 municipal elections, Lienemann and Maurel co-authored an open letter addressed to Hollande, calling on him to return to Socialist basics, end a freeze on public sector salaries, and raise the minimum salary and pensions.[5]

Ahead of the Socialist Party's 2018 convention in Aubervilliers, Lienemann publicly endorsed Maurel as candidate for the party's leadership.[6] In October 2018, she and Maurel left the Socialist Party and founded the left-wing Alternative for a Republican, Ecologist and Socialist Program (APRÉS). It merged with Jean-Pierre Chevènement's Citizen and Republican Movement in February 2019 to form the Republican and Socialist Left (GRS).
