Poujade, Pierre |
0.04 sec. |
Poujade, Pierre (-Marie)(born Dec. 1, 1920, Saint-Céré, France—died Aug. 27, 2003, La Bastide-l'Évêque) French political leader. The owner of a bookstore in Saint-Céré, in 1953 he organized a local shopkeepers' strike to protest high taxation. Expanding his activities to other towns, he enrolled 800,000 members in his Union for the Defense of Tradesmen and Artisans. His right-wing movement, known as Poujadism, attracted discontented farmers and merchants; in 1956 it won 52 seats in the National Assembly. Poujade's influence soon waned, but in the 1970s he founded an organization for nonunion workers. How to thank TFD for its existence?
