Perspective
Domestic policy
In June 2019, Rilhac was one of four members of the LREM parliamentary group who joined a cross-party initiative to legalization, the distribution and use of cannabis.[6][7] Along with four other LREM members – Coralie Dubost, Jean-Michel Mis, Stéphane Trompille, and Éric Bothorel –, she disassociated herself from their colleague Aurore Bergé when the latter announced her intention in October 2019 to vote for a Republican draft law banning the wearing of the hijab by women accompanying groups of students on school outings.[8]
In 2020, Rilhac was one of ten LREM members who voted against her parliamentary group's majority and opposed a much discussed security bill drafted by her colleagues Alice Thourot and Jean-Michel Fauvergue that helps, among other measures, curtail the filming of police forces.[9][10]
Foreign policy
In 2018, Rilhac joined other co-signatories around Sébastien Nadot in officially filing a request for a commission of inquiry into the legality of French weapons sales to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, days before an official visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Paris.[11]
In July 2019, Rilhac voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[12]
