Having previously been affiliated with the Socialist Party, Barbier joined LREM in 2016.[2] In 2020, he joined Territories of Progress.
In parliament, Barbier serves as member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.[3] In addition to his committee assignments, he is a member of the French-German Parliamentary Friendship Group.
In October 2017, Barbier was the only LREM member to vote against the reform of the solidarity tax on wealth (ISF) and against the increase in the general social contribution (CSG) for pensioners.
In July 2019, Barbier 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.[4]
