François Asselineau (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa asəlino]; born September 14, 1957) is a French politician and an Inspector General. {{citation}}: Empty citation (help) He belonged to the Rally for France (RPF), before creating his own political party, Popular Republican Union, (UPR), a movement proposing France's unilateral withdrawal from the European Union, the Eurozone and NATO. He was an announced candidate for the 2012 French presidential election but failed to muster the 500 signatures from elected politicians to run for president.

Education

Asselineau enrolled in HEC Paris where he graduated with the MSc in Management from the Grande école program in 1980. He enrolled at École nationale d'administration (ENA) where he graduated in 1985 with the second highest honors of those specialized in economics.[1]

Ministerial Career

After graduating from HEC Paris and before enrolling École nationale d'administration (ENA), Asselineau started his career in Japan in the department of economic expansion for National Service Overseas (CSNE). [2] Asselineau served in 1985 as inspector General in the inspection générale des Finances.

From 1989 to 1990, he was chief of mission for the National Credit. He was also president of the direction of the Society for Economical and Financial Analysis and Diagnostic (SADEF). In 1991, he became chief of mission of the Asia-Oceania office at the Direction of Foreign Economical Relation (DREE) in the Ministry of Economy and Finance in the Pierre Bérégovoy government.

From 1994 to 1995, he served as minister-counsellor for international affairs [3] in the Ministry of Industry in the Edouard Balladur government.

In June 1995, he was named director of the office of the Ministry of Tourism.[4] In 1996, he moved to the ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was in charge of economic matters for Asia, Oceania and Latin America until the dissolution of parliament by Jacques Chirac in 1997.

Engagement in Politics

In 1999, François Asselineau engaged himself in politics by becoming a member of the Rally for France (RPF), a party created by Charles Pasqua and Philippe de Villiers. He became a member of the national bureau, director of studies and spokesman of the party until autumn 2005.[5] On July 27, 2000, François Asselineau became vice-director of the general council of the Hauts-de-Seine. He was in charge of economic and international affairs.[1] On March 19, 2001, François Asselineau was elected as a member of the council of Paris in the 19e arrondissement de Paris. His list, a right-wing dissident list made with an agreement between Jean Tiberi and Charles Pasqua, was in a triangular against a Rally for the Republic (RPR) list and unified left list composed with Socialist Party (PS)[6]. On May 23, 2001, Charles Pasqua nominated François Asselineau as the director of his office of the presidency of the general council of Hauts-de-Seine[7] where he worked until March 30, 2004 when Nicolas Sarkozy took over the position of Charles Pasqua.

On October 20, 2004, Nicolas Sarkozy nominated François Asselineau as the director of the general delegation for economic intelligence within the Minister of Economy and Finance.[8] On December 31, 2004, he decided to join the group Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) at the Council of Paris.[9]. On November 3, 2006, he decided to quit the group and seat with the non-inscrit just after Françoise de Panafieu, for whom he worked for, was elected president of the council of Paris for the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).[10]

Creation of the UPR

In November 2006, Asselineau joined the steering committee of Rally for an Independent and Sovereign France (RIF), a party created by Paul-Marie Coûteaux[11], but left three months later. On March 25, 2007, he created the Popular Republican Union (UPR).[12]

In September 2007, Asselineau participated in a dissident political group named Paris Libre with several other ex-UMP members.[13] The group ran several lists against the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), and Asselineau ran a list in the 17e arrondissement de Paris against Françoise de Panafieu.[14] However, he then backtracked, denouncing consequent pressure on the members of his list.[15][16]

2012 French presidential election

In January 2011, Asselineau announced his intention to run for the 2012 French presidential election.[17] He confirmed his candidacy in December 2011 during the national congress of the Popular Republican Union [18]. However, François Asselineau is not among the ten candidates officially endorsed by Conseil constitutionnel on Monday 19th March, 2012, as he could not muster the 500 signatures from elected politicians that are necessary to run for president.[19]

Political platform

Asselineau runs on an anti-EU platform, stating that all French policy decisions are by an "unelected oligarchy, not French," leading to the political disaffection of the French public, and that the continued rule of the EU over European affairs will lead to a "global apartheid." [20] He believes that withdrawal from the EU and the euro will get France out of its current crisis. [21] He further favors the nationalization of troubled banks and other industries, hoping thereby to regain control over capital flows. [20]

Complaints against Media

Asselineau has claimed to be the victim of censorship by the French media. As a declared candidate for the French presidential election, 2012, he believes that French media are not following the recommendation advised by the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel [vague][22]. In response to Asselineau's complaint, the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel confirmed that any potential candidate has to be treated fairly on all media, depending on candidate's representativeness.[23]

Asselineau has also charged the French Wikipedia with censoring his page [24]. According to Numerama, the page was repeatedly deleted from the French Wikipedia because Asselineau is considered by editors there not to meet the requisite notability criteria [25].
