RN Deputy Christine Engrand Suspended for Misuse of Public Funds

Christine Engrand faces a six-month suspension from the Rassemblement National group after using public funds for personal expenses.

Christine Engrand, a deputy from Pas-de-Calais, has been suspended for six months after an investigation into her use of public funds for personal expenses.
The suspension follows reports by Mediapart in September revealing Engrand used her parliamentary funds for personal costs, including pet care and a dating site subscription.
Engrand reimbursed the misused funds to the Assembly, but the RN group has still moved to suspend her and may block her future candidacy.
Additional allegations include driving a vehicle without a valid technical inspection and with an invalid license, which Engrand attributed to an administrative error.
Engrand, who was re-elected in 2024, risks losing her position within the RN party, with the Commission Nationale d’Investiture advised to oppose her future candidacy.
