Biography

Emile Zuccarelli is polytechnician (X1960 Promotion). He was executive vice president of the insurances Présence before engaging in policy in reaction to the events of Aléria.

He obtains its first electoral mandate as vice-president of the new assembly of Corsica elected in 1992, the shortly after the Deferre reform equipping the island with a particular status. He becomes vice-president in charge of transport of this assembly before being elected appointed 1st district of the Haute-Corse in 1986. He is re-elected without stopping appointed Haute-Corse since and mayor of Bastia since 1989. Having a very strong local establishment, it defends the republican framework and is opposed to the Corsican freedom fighters firmly.

Combatant with intransigence terrorism, it escapes itself attacks. Forming the republican wing of the Radical left party (PRG), it takes part in the Groupe of the twelve, a collective of deputies of right-hand side and left to the listening of the heads of undertaking. He was Minister for the Stations and Télécommunications in 1992-93, in the government directed by Bérégovoy, where it defended the public service of the postal and telecommunications authorities. He was then Minister for the public office, of the reform of the State and decentralization in the government of Lionel Jospin of which he was évincé on March 27th, 2000 taking into account the dissensions appeared with the Prime Minister the shortly after the opening of a dialog which placed, in his eyes, the nationalists in the center of negotiations.

He becomes spokesperson of the MRG, under the presidency of François Doubin, in 1986, then president of the party in 1989, function which he gave up in 1992 at his entry with the government.

In 1995, he is opposed to the presidential candidate of Jean-François Hory and joined, after the withdrawal of this one, the team of countryside of Lionel Jospin to the Socialist party. After the ousting of Jean-François Hory, he becomes president deputy of the Parti radical socialist (PRS, ex-MRG) and responsible for the electoral negotiations with Lionel Jospin with the PS.

Principal leader of the internal opposition to Jean-Michel Baylet within the PRG, it approached mobility " republican of gauche" by in particular defending the candidature of Jean-Pierre Chevènement for presidential of 2002, with which it shared in particular the same vision of the place of Corsica in the Republic, whereas the PRG introduced a candidate, nonresulting from her rows and of which it fought the communautarism: Christiane Taubira.

Very mobilized on the Corsican question, it incarnates the defense of the Republican values vis-a-vis the drifts communautarists and to separatism. In 2000, its opposition to the Corsican nationalists refusing to condemn violence and the terrorist attacks will be worth to him to be excluded from the Gouvernement Lionel Jospin.

At the time of the Referendum of July 6th, 2003 organized in Corsica by Nicolas Sarkozy (of which the action is, on this point, supported by the Socialist party and several national famous daily newspapers), he is the leader of the republican camp and the principal craftsman of the victory of the " non". This result is then interpreted like a victory for the République and like a snub for Nicolas Sarkozy, the Socialists in favor of solutions communautarists and for the Corsican nationalists.

It led, in March 2004 a list with the territorial elections in baptized Corsica " Corsica in République" arrival at the head of the lists of left. But its refusal of concessions with the nationalists and the defection of the majority of the elected officials of the list led by other deputy PRG of the Haute-Corse, Paul Giacobbi, prevented it from carrying the presidency of the Assembly of Corsica.

Not will gather besides more than 56% of the votes in Corsica.

Thereafter, he asks the Government and the Parliament to draw the conclusions from the victory of the " non" and deposits a constitutional private bill tending to delete the article of the French Constitution according to which the " Republic can ratifier" the TCE. Indeed, if this article were maintained, a government could be tried to adopt the treaty by parliamentary way, and this with the contempt of the wish expressed democratically by the French.

With the presidential election of 2007, it supported the candidature of Ségolène Royal who, at the time of her visit at Bastia, in July 2006, had committed himself not reopening the institutional debate in the island.
