Hugo Prevost

Hugo Prevost is a prominent French politician and co-founder of the student union, L'Union étudiante, which emerged from a merger in April 2023 aimed at opposing the perceived authoritarianism of traditional student organizations. At just 24 years old, he gained significant attention when he was elected as a deputy for La France insoumise (LFI) in Isère, defeating former health minister Olivier Véran in July 2024. Recently, he was in the news due to a contentious vote that led to the expulsion of six local sections from the Union for submitting a separate list for upcoming elections, highlighting ongoing tensions within the organization.
