Pierre Ceyrac
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Ceyrac (born 18 September 1946, Douai) was a longstanding friend of Jean Marie Le Pen who served the French Front National Party first as a Deputy (1986) to the National Assembly of France, and then (1988) as a Member of the European Parliament.
Ceyrac was a nephew of the former president of the CNPF (National Centre of French Employers), and had known Le Pen since at least 1970, when he joined the FN. He was subsequently in charge of Le Pen's presidential campaigns, and was departmental Secretary of the Front National for the north of France based at Roubaix.
On 12 October 1989, the British Western Goals Institute hosted a controversial fringe meeting at the Conservative Party (UK) Conference in Blackpool, at which Ceyrac, as a Front National Member of the European Parliament, was the Guest Speaker.[1]
Ceyrac describes himself as "a militant Christian, as well as, I believe, the majority of my colleagues in the French National Assembly."
On other fronts Ceyrac was involved in several cancer charities, stating "I currently deal with the problem which concerns every Frenchman, the problem of cancer. I am currently dedicated to methods of prevention of cancer. I believe that that touches practically all the French....... we must promote the prevention of the cancer by every possible method."
Pierre Ceyrac left politics and the Front National in 1994, (Le Figaro, 14/02/94).
