Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Florence Portelli (born 23 March 1978 in Argenteuil) is a French politician who has been serving as Mayor of Taverny since 2014. She has also been a regional councillor of Île-de-France since 2015.

A longtime member of The Republicans, Portelli served as François Fillon's spokeswoman during his presidential election campaign in 2017. She was a candidate for the presidency of The Republicans that year.

Early life and education

Portelli is the daughter of senator Hugues Portelli and Marie Bosi. She enrolled at the Panthéon-Assas University where she graduated with a M.A. in public law of the Sorbonne Law School and, later, with a degree of Paris Institute of Criminology.[1]

Political career

In 2014, Portelli was elected Mayor of Taverny.[2][3] As part of the campaign led by Valérie Pécresse, she became regional councillor of Île-de-France in the 2015 elections.[1]

In 2015, Portelli was appointed as member of the Republicans' political bureau by its chairman Nicolas Sarkozy[4] and became the party's national spokesperson on cultural affairs.[5]

Having supported François Fillon during the 2012 leadership election, Portelli was selected as spokesperson for his 2017 presidential campaign,[6] and later as The Republicans' campaign spokeswoman for the 2017 French legislative election, in the team led by François Baroin.[7][8]

Ahead of the Republicans' 2017 leadership elections, Portelli declared her candidacy on 29 August 2017,[9] arguing that she wanted to work "for the right to recover its pride", to "return to activists the place that they should have in the party", and "a refoundation, a democratized functioning, a radical change to statutes and clarification of the ideological line of the party".[10] She excludes any possibility of cooperating with the extreme right, argues for the need to "reinforce" immigration control, and supports the definitive exclusion of LR members of "The Constructives",[11] saying they had "excluded themselves", but invited those who hoped that its creation would propel the right to reform to "to return to the fold," believing them mistaken.[1] In the final vote, she lost against Laurent Wauquiez.[12]

In February 2018, Portelli was appointed General secretary of "Libres !", a movement founded by Valérie Pécresse and affiliated with the Republicans.[13]

In 2023, the Republicans' chairman Éric Ciotti appointed Portelli as member of his shadow cabinet and put her in charge of cultural affairs.[14]

Personal life

Portelli has been playing piano since the age of six and is an avid jazz lover.[7] In 2016, she was elected President of the Orchestre national d'Île-de-France, a French symphony orchestra[15]
