She wanted to report inappropriate behavior from deputy Eric Coquerel who was just elected Chairman of Finance Committee of National Assembly. Block denied by the chosen one "L'Obs” takes stock.

She was also involved in the Nuit Debout movement which she founded. As well as organizing for the union of left during the presidential elections of 2017.

She was a "pacifist" figure within the movement of the "yellow vests", in particular when she launched the official declarations for demonstrations on the Champs Elysees.
