Political career
editAfter the presidential and legislative elections of 2007, Lemoyne became deputy chair of the UMP parliamentary group at the National Assembly. He held this position until 2014, under successive chairmen Jean-François Copé (2007-2010) and Christian Jacob (2010-2014).
Political positions
editIn 2013, Lemoyne voted against Law 2013-404, French legislation which grants same-sex couples the right to marry and jointly adopt children.[2]
When German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for European Union member states to give European Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmström a clear mandate for negotiations with the United States on metal tariffs in 2018, Lemoyne publicly opposed these plans.[3]
