Jacqueline Maquet (born 13 May 1949) is a French politician. She was a member of the National Assembly of France representing Pas-de-Calais 2nd constituency,[1] and is a member of Renaissance. She was formerly a member of the Socialist Party.

Political career

Maquet was elected to the National Assembly as a Socialist Party member representing Pas-de-Calais's 1st constituency in the 2007 French legislative election, succeeding Jean-Pierre Defontaine who had represented the constituency since 1978 for the Radical Party of the Left. She moved to stand in Pas-de-Calais's 2nd constituency for the 2012 French legislative elections and was elected to the vacant seat.

She was re-elected as a candidate for La Republic En Marche! (later Renaissance), the party of French president Emmanuel Macron, in the 2017 and 2022 French legislative elections.[2] She faced allegations of opportunism over her decision to stand as a candidate for La Republic En Marche! in 2017.[3]

Referring to herself as a "left-wing Macronist", she disagreed with the government's controversial pension reform plan that sparked protests and strikes across the country in 2020.[4]

She stood down as a candidate for the 2024 French legislative election.[5]
