Henri Emmanuelli (born on May 31, 1945) is a French politician.
Member of the Socialist Party (Parti socialiste or PS), he is deputy for Landes from 1978 to 1981, from 1986 to 1997 and since 2000.
He was nominated Secretary of State to Overseas in 1981, to Budget in 1983, to Consumption between 1984 and 1986. He was chairman of the National Assembly from 1992 to 1993 after Laurent Fabius stepped down, following his nomination as leader of the socialist party. If he took the head of the party in 1994, he was defeated by Lionel Jospin to represent the Socialists at the 1995 presidential election. He let him his function of prime secretary.
One year later, he was convicted for the illicit financing of the PS whereas he was its treasurer. He came back in politics in 2000.
If he was a faithful supporter of François Mitterrand until the latter's death, he passes as a character of the left-wing of the PS. In this, he campaigned for the "no" at the May 29, 2005 referendum about the European constitution.
