biography
Lagaillarde was a lawyer in Blida , Algeria and, like his father, an officer in the paratrooper reserve . He completed his military service as an officer in 1957.
In 1957 he took over the chairmanship of the “General Student Union of Algiers” (Association générale des étudiants d'Alger) . On November 30, 1958, he was elected Member of Parliament for a constituency of the city of Algiers. Together with Jean-Jacques Susini and Joseph Ortiz he was made jointly responsible for the uprisings in Algiers of 1958, and for the Semaine des barricades à Alger ("Week of the Barricades in Algiers") of January 1960.
In 1960 he was arrested and spent nine months in La Santé prison in Paris. He was temporarily released and fled to Spain with four other defendants ( Jean-Jacques Susini , Jean-Maurice Demarquet , Marcel Ronda and Fernand Féral Lefevre ) . In March 1961 he was sentenced in absentia to ten years' imprisonment for not appearing in court in Paris for rebellion against the state.
