from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Herman (born December 20, 1910 in Roubaix , † January 9, 1990 in Berck ) was a French politician. From 1962 to 1967 and 1968 to 1973 he was a member of the National Assembly .

Early life

Herman was born into a family of workers and craftsmen from Ghent in Roubaix in northern France. After graduating from school, he studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts et industries textiles in his place of birth . He was drafted with the outbreak of World War II . Because he was involved in the sabotage of the economy to the detriment of the occupying power in the occupied zone after the occupation of France by the Wehrmacht , he was arrested by the German police. He was freed in August 1944. He then continued his career at a plastics manufacturer, where he had already started working some time before the war. At the same time he was involved in local politics as well as in trade unions and labor associations. In 1959 he succeeded in entering the city council of Roubaix, which was connected with the election of deputy mayor of the city.

Career as a parliamentarian

His entry into local politics was followed by a candidacy in the parliamentary elections in 1962, when Herman reached the National Assembly for the Union pour la Nouvelle République . In 1967 he stood for re-election in his constituency in the northern department , but failed in the second round. In the early elections in 1968, he managed to return to parliament with a narrow margin of votes. In the same year he was elected Mayor of Wasquehal City. In 1973 he stood for re-election as a member of parliament, but received only 42.9 percent in the second round. Instead of the planned entry into the National Assembly, he was only elected to the regional council of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region this year . After he was not re-elected as Mayor of Wasquehal in 1977, he went to Berck, where he increasingly withdrew from politics. There he died in 1990. For his services he was awarded the Ordre national du Mérite and the Ordre des Palmes Académiques .
