Jean Mouchel (22 May 1928 – 7 March 2022) was a French politician, novelist, and farmer.[1]

Life and career

Mouchel spent his childhood in Lieusaint, Manche, and subsequently became a farmer in Folligny and Noyers-Bocage. He became active in trade unions, serving as President of the Fédération régionale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles and vice-president of the Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles.

Mouchel's activism in trade unions led him to politics. In 1982, he was elected to represent France in the European Parliament as a member of the Rally for the Republic.[2] He was re-elected in 1984.[3] He also served in the Regional Council of Basse-Normandie, of which he became vice-president in 1986. In addition to his political activities, he was affiliated with the Société des auteurs de Normandie.

Jean Mouchel died on 7 March 2022, at the age of 93.[4]
