Michel Carlini, the son of a seafaring family, earned a doctorate in law. After completing his studies, he worked as a lawyer in Marseille. He fought from 1914 to 1918 in World War I and was awarded the Croix de guerre for this. In the 1930s he was promoted to dean of the Faculty of Law. In the local elections in 1947 Carlini stood for the party Rassemblement du peuple français , which was founded shortly before by de Gaulle . In a political standoff with communists and socialists , he was elected mayor. However, the following term of office was marked by political conflict. In the National Assembly elections in 1951, Carlini was second on the Conservative list, behind Henry Bergasse . He increasingly distanced himself from his Gaullist party and in the local elections in 1953, in which Gaston Defferre became mayor of Marseilles, he did not run again. In 1956 he ran for re-election for the National Assembly, but failed. He then withdrew from politics. Michel Carlini died on November 25, 1967 in his hometown of Marseille.
