Bernard Carayon (born October 1, 1957) is a member of the French parliament.[1] First elected in Tarn in 1993; he has been then reelected in 2002 and 2007. He is also mayor of Lavaur, a historic city near Toulouse, since 1995. He is a member of the Union for a Popular Movement. Taking a particular interest in questions of globalization, he has written two books entitled "Patriotisme économique" and "Changeons le monde" ("Let's change the world").
