Biography

[edit]

Trouvé was born in Chauny in Picardy in 1979. Aurélie Trouvé grew up in Poulx (Gard) in a family politicized on the left which was linked to associative circles.[1]

She came to alter-globalization through an economics professor, Jacques Berthelot,[1] she joined Attac Campus in 2002.[2] She also obtained an engineering diploma at the National School of Rural Engineering, Water Resources and Forestry in 2003.[3]

In 2007, she completed a doctoral thesis in Economic Sciences at the University of Burgundy on European agricultural policies.[1] She became a lecturer at Agrosup Dijon from 2007 to 2013, she travelled back and forth between Burgundy, Montreuil where she settled with her daughter and her partner, and Paris for her research activities. She has been a lecturer in economics at AgroParisTech since 2014 (UMR Prodig).[4]

She is involved at the local level in the Attac 21 group, of which she became vice-president in 2005, and in the Attac Campus Dijon group from 2002. She also becomes a member of the Local Social Forum [fr] 21, and of the commission on Europe. At the end of 2006, she moved to Grenoble.

She was elected for the first time to the board of directors of Attac France in June 2006.[5] After the cancellation of the first ballot, she was re-elected in December 2006, at the top of all the candidates.[5] The Board appoints her co-president, with Jean-Marie Harribey [fr].[5] Then she was re-elected again in December 2009 and designated by the Board as co-president with Thomas Coutrot [fr].

On 6 June 2011, she announced her candidacy (which was inadmissible due to not being presented by the French government) for the general management of the International Monetary Fund following the resignation of Dominique Strauss-Kahn.[1]

Her work published by Fayard in 2015 was entitled, Le business est dans le pré, which appeared in very different publications, academic like the journal Revue Projet [fr].[6] It also appeared in media like Alternatives économiques[7] and France Culture[8] or activists like the website of the Confédération paysanne [fr].[9]

In December of the same year, as part of the campaign for the 2022 French presidential election, she joined the campaign of La France insoumise, supporting the candidacy of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and became president of the parliament of the Popular Union.[11] As part of the 2022 French legislative elections, she was the NUPES candidate in Seine-Saint-Denis's 9th constituency to succeed Sabine Rubin, the outgoing MP for La France Insoumise who stood down.[12] She was elected in the second round on 19 June 2022 with 69.24% of the votes cast, or 27.51% of those registered to vote.
