The LFI MP for Seine-Saint-Denis was the guest of Aurélie Herbemont and Benjamin Fontaine.

“No researcher should be imprisoned for this reason“, declares Friday December 26, 2025 on franceinfo Aurélie Trouvé, LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis, regarding the hopes of release of Laurent Vinatier, this French researcher arrested in Russia in June 2024 then sentenced to three years in prison for espionage, because the Russian authorities accuse him of not having registered as a “foreign agent”.

Thursday December 25, 2025, Russia announced that it had made a proposal to France concerning the detention of the French national, the content of which has not been filtered. Aurélie Trouvé says she has “a thought for Mr. Vinatier and his loved ones“And”imagine how extremely difficult it must be to spend these holidays away from your family.”
On the current negotiations between France and Russia, the MP assures that it is her “responsibility not to say anything that could disrupt in any way what is happening“. Aurélie Trouvé simply assures that “like all French people, our main priority is the release of Mr. Vinatier as quickly as possible“.

Mercosur: Aurélie Trouvé wants France to vote against

LFI MP Aurélie Trouvé “hope“, on franceinfo “qthat France will vote against“the draft EU-Mercosur agreement. On December 18, 2025, the signing of this agreement was postponed to January 2026 at the instigation of France and Italy. Emmanuel Macron asked that the “progress” demanded by France materialize so that “the text changes its nature.”I now hope that France will vote against, which is not yet won“, said the member for Seine-Saint-Denis.
“It has been years since Mr Macron could have withdrawn France from the negotiating mandate“, regrets Aurélie Trouvé who affirms that the head of state “could have blocked this mandate: why didn’t he do it? He was in constant ambiguity“, she denounces. “He never said ‘I am opposed to this agreement quite simply’, he found biases, diversions, to say ‘perhaps not as it stands, but there should be a safeguard clause‘”, notes Aurélie Trouvé, for a result, according to her, which “weakened us.”
