Alain Émile Louis Marie Poher (; 17 April 1909 – 9 December 1996) was a French centrist politician, affiliated first with the Popular Republican Movement and later with the Democratic Centre. He served as a Senator for Val-de-Marne from 1946 to 1995. He was President of the Senate from 3 October 1968 to 1 October 1992 and, in that capacity, served twice as the country's interim president. A leading candidate in the 1969 presidential election, he was defeated by Georges Pompidou in the second round. ==Life and career== Poher was born in Ablon-sur-Seine, Val-de-Marne. He graduated from the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and the Lycée Saint-Louis in Paris and later studied law. On 19 August 1938 he married Henriette Tugler, with whom he had one daughter, Marie-Agnès. His political career began in 1938, when he became a junior executive officer in the Ministry of Finance. Later he served on several positions before entering the Senate: * Chairman, Ministry of Finance Liberation Committee (from 20 July 1944) * Head of Social Services, Ministry of Finance (from 1 January 1945) * Mayor of Ablon-sur-Seine (from 1 January 1946) * Sec. of State for Finance and Economic Affairs (Govt. of Robert Schuman) * Sec. of State for the Budget (Govt. of Henri Queuille) A longtime ally and political protégé of Schumann, Poher was elected to the Senate in 1952, where he remained for over 40 years, until 1995. As Senator he continued to serve in some governments and as his home-town mayor. Like Schuman, he was known for strongly pro-European integration positions; he served as President of the European Parliament from 1966 to 1969. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alain Poher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
