Isabelle Le Callennec (French pronunciation: [izabɛl lə kalenɛk]; born 14 October 1966) is a French politician who has served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) since 2024.[1] A member of The Republicans (LR), she previously represented the 5th constituency of Ille-et-Vilaine in the National Assembly from 2012 to 2017.[2]

Locally, she was first a municipal councillor of Vitré (2008–2012) and a general councillor of Ille-et-Vilaine for the canton of Vitré-Est (2008–2015). When the General Council of Ille-et-Vilaine was renamed Departmental Council of Ille-et-Vilaine as part of the 2015 French cantonal reorganisation, she was elected for the newly-created canton of Vitré for one term (until 2021). She later served as Mayor of Vitré from 2020 until her election as an MEP, presided over Vitré Communauté (2020–2024) and was elected to the Regional Council of Brittany in 2021.

Political positions

As a deputy in 2013 Le Callennec opposed the legalisation of same-sex marriage in France.[3] In 2014, she co-signed an amendment in the National Assembly proposing that abortion procedures no longer be reimbursed by Social security.[4][5]

In the 2016 The Republicans presidential primary, she supported François Fillon.[6]
