He was one of the first parliamentarians to support him, and Emmanuel Macron held his first political meeting in Fresnes on March 19, 2015, at his invitation.

Jean-Jacques Bridey's intervention enabled the Macron law to extend the concession granted to SEMMARIS[6] for the management of the Rungis International Market.
