Pierre had an excellent idea. 

After contacting our MP, his parliamentary assistant, Shéri Diop, suggested that we meet at the Assemblée Nationale for an interview. 

It was very impressive to have an appointment in such a beautiful building and to be welcomed so warmly. 

Mr Juvin was mayor of La Garenne-Colombes for many years before being elected as a Member of Parliament. He has been an MP since 2022. His electoral district covers Bois-Colombes, La Garenne-Colombes and Courbevoie. In civilian life, he is a professor of medicine and is currently head of the emergency department at Georges Pompidou Hospital in Paris. 

He welcomed us to his office. In this episode, I invite you to listen to the part of the interview in which Philippe Juvin explains his role as an MP. 

You will also find a link to the audio and full transcript of this part of the interview, in which he goes on to explain the differences and similarities between the role of mayor and that of MP.
