communist party without the enlightened leadership of kim il sung he led the rpr udf alliance with former president valéry giscard d estaing for the 1989 european elections but resigned from the

united nations some controversies have emerged later on this subject in august 2008 he was named in a rwandan government report on the alleged french connection in the rwanda genocide during his tenure as foreign minister 3 from a general point of view he has been considered to be one of the best foreign ministers in france s recent history although he held the position of president of the rpr he participated in the debate and endorsed jacques chirac instead of balladur in the 1995 presidential election prime minister of france 1995 1997 edit juppé in 1995 because he supported jacques chirac against edouard balladur during the 1995 presidential campaign he succeeded him as prime minister also becoming president of the rpr jacques chirac claimed alain juppé was the best among us however in november december 1995 his plan for welfare state reform caused the biggest social conflict since may 68 and under duress abandoned it he became the most unpopular prime minister of the fifth republic challenged only by édith cresson in january 1996 alain juppé together with interior minister jean louis debré opened negotiations with the flnc canal historique then the largest guerrilla group in the corsican conflict the ensuing tralonca peace campaign became juppé s priority in government holding numerous meetings and conferences and even traveling to corsica 4 the peace would fail in 1996 after the french government refused to release political prisoners arrested during the peace process 5 in spring 1997 president chirac dissolved the national assembly but lost the legislative election alain juppé was succeeded by the socialist lionel jospin furthermore juppé left the leadership of the rpr he campaigned for the unification of all the parties of the centre right behind jacques chirac resulting in the union for the presidential majority which became the union for a popular movement union pour un mouvement populaire or ump and was its first president from 2002 to 2004 as a member of the national assembly as representative of paris from 1986 to 1997 then representative of gironde he was elected mayor of bordeaux in 1995 succeeding former prime minister jacques chaban delmas criminal conviction 1999 2006 edit in 2004 alain juppé was tried for the felony of abuse of public funds when he was head of the rpr and the rpr illegally used personnel provided by the city of paris for running its operations he was convicted and sentenced to an 18 month suspended jail sentence the deprivation of civic rights for five years and the deprivation of the right to run for political office for 10 years he appealed the decision whereupon his disqualification from holding elected office was reduced to one year and the suspended sentence cut to 14 months he announced he would not appeal the ruling before the court of cassation see corruption scandals in the paris region as a consequence alain juppé resigned his mayoralty of bordeaux and his position of head of the bordeaux urban community the court commented it is regrettable that at the time when the legislative body became aware of the need to end criminal practices which existed for the financing of political parties mr juppé did not apply to his own party the very rules that he had voted for in parliament it is equally regrettable that mr juppé whose intellectual qualities are unanimously recognized did not judge appropriate to assume before justice his entire criminal responsibility and kept on denying established facts however mr juppé has given himself for many years to the service of the state while he did obtain no personal enrichment from these crimes he committed for the benefit of his political party for which he should not be a scapegoat 6 some commentators such as jean marc ayrault head of the national assembly group of the socialist party have argued that juppé in this judicial group paid for a wider responsibility than his own 7 some law professors argued that the versailles court could not legally exempt juppé from a disposition of the electoral code article l7 8 9 which bars any person sentenced for illegal taking of interests from being on an electoral roll for a period of 5 years also preventing that person from running for office another disposition of the electoral code 10 specifies that any person deprived of the right to be on an electoral roll for a certain period following a judicial sentence is deprived of the right of running for the french national assembly for double that period which would bar juppé for 10 years when alain juppé registered again as a voter other voters sued to have his registration cancelled however the bordeaux court of small claims ruled against them 11 some of the plaintiffs declared they would appeal the decision before the court of cassation another possible issue is that should alain juppé be elected to national office the constitutional council could cancel the election on grounds that juppé was illegally registered as a voter president jacques chirac could have used his right of pardon in favor of juppé but this would have probably been politically disastrous 12 juppé considered giving classes on public administration at a variety of prominent united states and quebec universities and colleges including the uqàm in montreal some of which were initially receptive to having a former prime minister be a member of their faculty however following juppé s conviction his appointment was contested by some teachers 13 juppé was finally taken in by the école nationale d administration publique in montreal where he served as a full time faculty member for the academic year 2005 2006 return to public life 2006 2010 edit juppé was reelected as mayor of bordeaux in october 2006 in may 2007 he was appointed minister of state minister of ecology and sustainable development in the government of françois fillon being in fact the number two of the government in protocolar order this is the third time in the history of fifth republic after michel debré and laurent fabius that a former prime minister returned as a minister in another government although some presidents of the council of the fourth republic were ministers of the fifth republic juppé ran unsuccessfully in the 2007 legislative elections and as a consequence announced his resignation from the government 14 prime minister fillon had announced that all ministers that chose to run in these elections and were beaten would have to leave the government for it meant that these ministers did not enjoy the confidence of the people 15 on 9 march 2008 juppé was reelected as mayor of bordeaux winning 56 of the popular vote in the first round 16 back in government 2010 2012 edit juppé meets with u s secretary of state hillary clinton in washington d c 6 june 2011 french and tunisian foreign ministers alain juppé and rafik abdessalem at tunis on 5 january 2012 in 2010 after the disappointed result of the regional

mediatic and political class in november 2011 he told that the syrian regime would fall soon and that bashar al assad should be judged by the international penal court later this attitude has been condemned or badly evaluated by experts or politicians estimating that the destabilization of nation states has permitted the extension of islamic extremism but juppé has maintained his positions endorsing nicolas sarkozy for the 2012 presidential election he deplored the role of biased media in the campaign and dismissed françois hollande s economic program as dangerous considering the weak score of sarkozy in his gironde s 2nd constituency he renounced to be candidate at the june 2012 legislative elections his successor nicolas florian was beaten by socialist candidate michèle delaunay
