Political career
editLebranchu served a Minister Delegate in charge of SMEs, Trade, Crafts, Liberal Professions and Consumer Affairs in the cabinet of Prime Minister Lionel Jospin from 1997 to 2002. In 1999, she lifted the French government's ban on sales of Coke, Sprite and Fanta produced at Coca-Cola Enterprises' Dunkirk site.[1] From 2000 to 2002, Lebranchu served as Minister of Justice.
Lebranchu then served as a member of the National Assembly of France, representing Finistère's 4th constituency from 1997 to 2012. During that time, she was part of the Socialiste, radical, citoyen et divers gauche parliamentary group.[2] She served on the Committee for Economic Affairs (2002–2007) and the Committee on National Defence and the Armed Force (2007–2012).[3]
In the Socialist Party's 2011 primaries, Lebranchu endorsed Martine Aubry as the party's candidate for the 2012 presidential election.[4]
On 16 May 2012, Lebranchu was named Minister of the Reform of the State and of Decentralization in the first Cabinet of French President Francois Hollande and Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and Manuel Valls.[5] In this capacity, she drafted a plan in 2014 for measured wage civil service pay rises covering the 2017-2020 period.[6]
Ahead of the Socialist Party's 2017 primaries, Lebranchu publicly endorsed Benoît Hamon as the party's candidate for the presidential election later that year.[7]
