Franco-Moroccan Lawmaker Sarah El Haïry Named Youth Secretary in French Cabinet

At 31 years old, Sarah El Haïry is joining the government of Jean Castex. Born to Franco-Moroccan parents, a doctor father and a businesswoman mother, the MoDem deputy passed her baccalaureate at the Lyautey high school in Casablanca, after schooling in Metz in particular. She worked in the lunch voucher company of the Up group at the end of her law studies.

While she is on Valérie Oppelt’s (LREM) list, the new Secretary of State and Spokesperson for MoDem was also elected to the Nantes city council on Sunday, June 28. She should sit on the metropolitan council.

Known for her outspokenness, the Franco-Moroccan is described by her entourage as "endowed with enormous energy". At the height of the coronavirus, she had criticized the Édouard Philippe government, particularly on the tracking of coronavirus carriers via mobile phones.
