VGE is dead, tributes in Côte-d’Or

He joined his mountains of Auvergne. Let us always remember that it was thanks to him that Simone Veil wrote a page in the history of women. The National Assembly was then a hotbed of resistance.
Farewell Mr. President. https://t.co/zEytoybzrl

VGE had passed through Dijon during the presidential campaign of 1974, then seven years later to convince the Côte-d’Oriens that he had to be re-elected against François Mitterrand and his communist allies.

For his part, the deputy La République en Marche of the 5th district of Côte-d’Or Didier Paris relays on Twitter images of the minute of silence observed in the assembly this Wednesday evening after the announcement of the death of Giscard. Among the changes made by the former head of state, he also mentions the lowering of the majority in France to 18 years, or the possibility of divorce by mutual consent.
