Political career

In parliament, Borowczyk serves as member of the Committee on Social Affairs. In 2020, he also chaired a parliamentary inquiry into the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in France.[3][4]

In addition to his committee assignments, Borowsczyk is part of the parliamentary friendship group with Madagascar.[5]

In the 2022 French legislative election, he lost his seat to Republican Jean-Pierre Taite.[6]

Political positions

In July 2019, Borowczyk decided not to align with his parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[7]

In a joint open letter with Bertrand Sorre and Grégory Galbadon which was published in Le Point in October 2019, Borowczyk defended the controversial decisions to have the 2019 World Athletics Championships and the 2022 FIFA World Cup take place in Qatar.[8]
