Clément Beaune, Minister Delegate for Transport and member of the left wing of the majority, pleads, in an interview with L’Obs, for legalization “in the future” of surrogacy (GPA), a measure not listed in Emmanuel Macron’s program. “Today, the situation is clear: surrogacy does not appear in the presidential and legislative contract that we signed with the French in the spring of 2022. This measure is not on the program, the president told the French. Should we, however, go further in the future and legalize surrogacy? I think so, yes,” Mr. Beaune told the weekly.
Second argument: justice. “Today, the French can in fact already use surrogacy. But not all French people! Only those who have the means to travel abroad: to Canada, to the United States… The selection is done by money and contacts. Having our own framework and our own rules would be fairer and more protective. That will not happen in this legislature. But we also have to dig into ideas for tomorrow, ”explains this former adviser to Emmanuel Macron.
“That there are sensitivities that are expressed within our majority, mine or that of Gérald Darmanin, is a necessity: the overcoming wanted by Emmanuel Macron is anything but an erasure. But the ideas that are expressed must be within a common framework,” insists Clément Beaune.
