Political career

In parliament, Chiche serves as member of the Committee on Social Affairs. In addition to his committee assignments, he is part of the parliamentary friendship groups with Argentina and Brazil.[4]

In January 2019, Chiche joined the LREM executive board. In that capacity, he shares responsibility with Laurent Saint-Martin for the party's policy planning.[5]

Political positions

In a 2018 parliamentary report, Chiche proposed the abolition of income splitting for the purposes of assessing personal income tax.[6]

In 2019, Chiche led (with Aurore Bergé) a group of LREM members who advocated for broad access to assisted reproductive technology (ART). Unlike Bergé, he supported the authorization of post-mortem ART, a motion which was rejected by a parliamentary majority.[7]

In July 2019, Chiche decided not to align with his parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[8]
