Henri Duvillard

Henri Albert André Duvillard (born November 3, 1910 in Luxeuil-les-Bains , Haute-Saône department , † July 16, 2001 in Paris ) was a French politician of the Union pour la Nouvelle République (UNR), who was a member between 1958 and 1978 of the National Assembly and from 1967 to 1972 Minister for Veterans and War Victims.

Life

Duvillard graduated from the hotel management school in Grenoble and was involved in the Resistance during the Second World War , the resistance movement against the German occupation forces in the Loiret department . After the war he worked as a contract agent before he was editor-in-chief of the weekly newspaper La Dépêche du Loiret between 1947 and 1952 . He was then director of public relations at the paper manufacturer Papeteries de France , before he worked for various ministers from 1954 to 1957. In addition, he was committed to the Service d'action civique (SAC), which supported the politics of Charles de Gaulle .

In the elections to the National Assembly, he was elected for the first time as a member of the National Assembly in the first constituency (Circonscription) of the Loiret department and was a member of the National Assembly as a representative of the Union pour la Nouvelle République (UNR) since November 30, 1958. In the elections that followed on November 25, 1962, he was re-elected for the UNR and Union Démocratique du Travail (UDT) alliance and in the March 5, 1967 elections for the resulting Union des Démocrates pour la Ve République (UDR). He was a member of the National Assembly until April 2, 1978

On April 6, 1967, Duvillard was appointed by Prime Minister Georges Pompidou as Minister for Veterans and Victims of War (Ministre des anciens combattants et victimes de guerre) in his fourth cabinet . He also held this position in the subsequent Couve de Murville cabinet and in the Chaban-Delmas cabinet until July 6, 1972.

In the elections of June 23, 1968 and March 11, 1973 Duvillard was re-elected in the constituency of Loiret I for the Union des démocrates pour la République (UDR). Most recently he was a member of the Rassemblement pour la République (RPR) since 1976 .

After a Comité National du Mémorial Charles de Gaulle was founded on March 23, 1971 under the patronage of President Pompidou in memory of Charles De Gaulle , the staunch Gaullist Duvillard took over the presidency of the organization. The committee also included Admiral Georges Cabanier , Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honor , and Claude Hettier de Boislambert , Chancellor of the Ordre de la Liberation . He was a longtime President de Gaulle and his wife Yvonne de Gaulle .

Duvillard was buried in the cemetery in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises .
