French Senator Nicole Bricq

Nicole Bricq (born June 10, 1947) is a member of the Senate of France, representing the Seine-et-Marne department. Since 1980, Bricq has been a member of the French Socialist Party, formerly holding the position of Minister of Foreign Trade.

Political Life[edit]

Bricq was elected to the French Senate in 2006 for the department of Seine-et-Marne.

In May 2012, Bricq was appointed Minister of Ecology, Energy, and Sustainable Development in the government of Jean-Marc Ayrault. After the French legislative elections of June 2012, she was appointed Minister for Foreign Trade, a position she held until March 2014.

In March 2014, Bricq was caught on film saying that food served at a state dinner for China's President Xi Jinping was "disgusting". Television cameras caught her telling Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault that the food at the Elysee did not compare with that served at Matignon, the prime minister's office, where she had attended a lunch for Xi. "Frankly, at Matignon, there's no comparison. It wasn't that way at all at the Elysee. No, it was disgusting," she was heard whispering.

Education[edit]

In 1970 Nicole Bricq received a master's degree in Private Law from the University Montesquieu-Bordeaux.
