He was the President of the french "cour des comptes", and former President of the Assemblée Nationale (1993-1997). Chiraquist, he was expected to become Prime Minister when Chirac became President. He also lead an alternative right-wing list for Paris mayoral election, against unpopular incumbent Jean Tibéri.

RIP.

Neither of mine, if it's what you meant. Tongue Indeed I find a bit strange the dythirambic tone of the homages from the political world. However, he has certainly deserved a RIP thread in this board, and since nobody had created one, I decided to do.

Plus, he was only 66, which is quite young to die.

Well, when you die they won't say you were a bastard, an old goon and that they personally hated the deceased.

Didn't a newspaper choose "globalement négatif" for title when Marchais died ?

True. I don't like his views so much, but he was undoubtedly a honest man.

I read 'Getulist' the first time I saw that. I need to stop thinking about Brazil.

You seem to REALLY like this guy. Grin
