Biography

Born in 1928 from a father teacher and a practicing catholic mother, Pierre Mauroy is the groin of a family of seven children. His/her father installed with Haussy, he will become pupil of the Cambric colleges and Cateau then raise-professor-trainee of the National Teacher training school of Training (ENNA) of Cachan. He engages as of the 16 years age to SFIO in the socialist Jeunesses and becomes about it, in 1950, the national secretary. In 1951 it founds the National federation Léo-Lagrange, one of the most important French movements of popular education. He becomes professor of technical education to Colombes in 1952 - on the whole, he will teach only 18 months in his life and obtains in 1955 the position of secretary general of the trade union of the colleges of technical education of the federation of State education. In 1966 he becomes general secretary of the SFIO. With the Socialist party (which replaced the SFIO), it climbs little by little all the levels and connects the positions of responsibility. To the call of Augustin Laurent, it enters in second position on the electoral roll of the Socialist party for the municipal election of 1971 to Lille. Augustin re-elected Laurent, will entrust two years later to his first associates the keys of the belfry by his resignation the January 8th 1973: Pierre Mauroy becomes mayor of Lille, after the legislative ones. Then the March 11th 1973 it is elected Député of the Département of North. One year later, it is elected president of the district council Nord-Pas-de-Calais. As a person in charge of the powerful socialist federation of the Northern , it appears with dimensions of François Mitterrand, as being number 2 of the PS. With the approach of the legislative elections of 1977, Mitterrand had envisaged to send it to Matignon in the event of cohabitation with Valery Giscard d'Estaing while waiting for the presidential one. The lost poll, they work together to reform the party and to gather the Socialists. Since the congress of Metz in 1979 it animates one of the minority currents of the socialist party.

Important support of François Mitterrand in the work of union of the left in 1981, this last, once elected president of the Republic, appoints it Prime Minister. Its government includes/understands four communist ministers . It starts a policy very marked on the left to apply the promises of the President: 39 hours, fifth week of Paid vacations, increase in the number of civils servant, Decentralization, Nationalization S, wealth tax, retirement at sixty years, abolition of the Capital punishment, refunding of IVG (against the opinion of the president), reform of the Media, etc

However its incapacity to solve the problems of the Inflation and the Unemployment (+1,5 million unemployed), as well as a monetary crisis, push it to give up its policy to implement what one calls the “austerity measures”, incarnated by the , Minister for Finance Jacques Delors, in order to control the public purses and the problems economic. The indexing of the wages on the prices is given up, the reform of private education is pushed back. In July 1984, François Mitterrand decides to replace Pierre Mauroy by Laurent Fabius.

The Municipal council, on February 17th, 1984, it will make vote a statue for the Liénart Cardinal. That will involve a media lawsuit in front of the Administrative court of Lille, chaired by André Plateau.
