Biography

Resulting from a line of Pharmacist S and Doctors (his father was director of the Service of the Children Assisted of Coast-in Or), Marcel Roclore starts studies of medicine, when the First World War bursts. Mobilized in January 1916 in artillery, it is versed in the departments of health as auxiliary doctor, where its courage is worth the to him Military Cross and a Citation with the order of the regiment. Post-war period, it completes its studies and becomes doctor of medicine. Married three times during its life, it has four children of its first marriage (which goes back to 1922).

Its political career begins in 1935, when he becomes city council man of Saulieu. With the legislative elections of 1936, during which he is the candidate of the agrarian Parti, he desists with the 2nd turn to make stopping with the socialist candidate. He will remain throughout his life interested by the agricultural problems.

Second world war

Founding member of the Maquis of Morvan, entered with the CDL in November 1943, he becomes member of the Management Committee of " Those of Résistance". With the Release, it is named operations manager for the economic affairs with the Police station of the Republic of Dijon, and takes again its political activity. Marcel Roclore thus receives for his action the Military Cross and the Médaille of resistance

Post-war period

On the local plan, he is elected in 1945 mayor of Saulieu, and the remainder until 1965 (date on which he resigns because his list does not have the absolute majority). In 1945, he is also elected General adviser Saulieu, function to which he is constantly renewed with the first turn with each election. He becomes president of the General advice of the Coast-with Or in 1951. Very implied in the life of its city and its department, it is at the time of its death the president of several associations aiming to the promotion of its area and the improvement of its equipment.

With the national plan, he is elected Député of Coast-in Or at the two constituent Assemblies of 1945 and 1946, each time second on the list of the Républicains Independent of the Chanoine Kir. He is Member of the Commission of the means of communication and the stations and that of the Family, the population and health, and defends with the Parliament a fight plan against the venereal diseases and the prohibition of the prostitution (closing of the closed houses - to see Marthe Richard). He also intervenes with the Parliament on the questions of general policy and the budget. Like the other deputies of the right-wing opposition, he votes against the two constitution projects and the nationalizations.

In October 1946, he is elected appointed Indépendant with the National Assembly, of which he becomes vice-president the same year (he is it again of 1948 to 1950). From January 22nd to October 22nd, 1947, it occupies the post of minister of State in the first Ramadier cabinet. Already anxious about the lack of firmness supposed with respect to the Communists and about the Algerian freedom fighters, he worries about the Indochinese problem. He belongs to those which, hostile with the negotiations with Vietminh, wish to gain the war to consider a political solution then. From October 22nd to November 24th, 1947, he is then Minister for Agriculture in transitory the second cabinet Ramadier, ministry difficult because very unpopular at the time when the problem of the supply obsesses the population. Decided cause a drop in the farm prices, it runs up by its anti-state control against the projects of his socialist colleagues (in particular André Philip).

With the National Assembly, he is Member of the Commission of the Ministries for Foreign Affairs in 1947-1948, and the commission of the Family, the population and health during all the legislature, two commissions which correspond to its competences and its political concerns. From 1946 to 1950, it speaks on various questions, but its reports/ratios, its private bills and resolution relate to primarily medical questions and of health rather technical, for which its formation intends it particularly. It is announced finally by its support to the European and Atlantic policy.

At the time of the elections of June 1951, in spite of the political alliance between RPF and the Independent, Country and Republican Nationals, the disunion with the Chanoine Kir (which carries out a concurrent list of Republican Concentration) always involves a depression of the voices of the Independent ones, which costs Marcel Roclore, second of list, its seat of deputy.

However, in August 1951, the National Assembly elects it Conseiller of the French Union to replace Estèbe. Re-elected in July 1952, it sits within the group of Union Metropolis Overseas then at the Independent ones (until its resignation in January 1956). Member of the Commission of the Social Affairs in 1951-1952 and that of Agriculture, the breeding, huntings, fishings and the forests of 1951 to 1956, it occupies the vice-presidency of the Parliament of the French Union of October 1952 in December 1953. He Y makes some specific interventions, in the medical field, but also to support the action of the army in Indo-China or the project of CED.

Elected official appointed again with the National Assembly in January 1956 (like Independent and Peasant of Social action), he is Member of the Commissions of the Family and the Interior in 1956-1957, and that of the Foreign affairs in 1958. Its parliamentary action concentrates on two points: its European engagement, and especially safeguard of the historical links of France with its old colonies and conservation of Algeria. It intervenes several times at the Parliament on the Algerian question, of which it is one of the specialists. Partisan of a policy of firmness with respect to the freedom fighters considered as terrorists, opposed to any defeatism, it however recommends a vast policy of political reforms, administrative, economic and social. Pacification and the return to the order are for him a precondition to the rescue of French Algeria, which would pass by the installation of autonomy, the modification of the statute and the rights of the natives (without going to the single college) and economic development. He takes part in a parliamentary inquiry on the spot, and is in September 1957 rapporteur of the bill on the institutions of Algeria, written by the Commission of the Interior of which he forms part. He leaves it finally, because from the irreconcilable points of view which divide it.

Independent with the clean direction of the term and not very suspect sectarianism, Marcel Roclore has an moral authority which exceeds the limits of its parliamentary group, as testify to them his vice-presidencies with the National Assembly and the Parliament to the French Union. He maintains the relationships to many personalities not forming part of the Independent ones; he bound in particular with to François Mitterrand, whereas this one sought to be established with Castle-Chinon, and became near to his family. On the other hand, its bonds with the Independent ones gradually distended, without however that it never breaks with them.

In 1958, he is comfortably elected appointed (Independent and Peasant of Social action) of the 4th district of Coast-in Or (Montbard). Its dissensions with the gaullist majority pushes it to adopt the opposition represented by his/her friend Mitterrand. It is not represented with the delegation in 1962 and then aims an election to the Senate within a coalition of centrists of left. Its short defeat with the second round vis-a-vis Roger Duchet, leaving senator supported by the moderate ones, completes to move away it from his/her former Indépendants friends.

Withdrawn of the national political life since then, Marcel Roclore dies brutally in 1966.
