Roger Holeindre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger Holeindre (Corrano, Corsica, March 21, 1929) is a French politician, vice-president of the National Front (FN) far-right party.
A volunteer for the Indochina War and then the Algerian War, he engaged himself in the Organisation armée secrète (OAS), a right-wing terrorist movement opposed to the 1962 Evian Accords which accorded independence to Algeria. After being given a prison sentence for his engagement in the OAS, he later worked as a reporter for Paris-Match while counselling in the same time young Occident far-right activists.
Roger Holeindre then became member of the political bureau of the National Front, along with Jean-Marie Le Pen. He was deputy of the Seine Saint Denis region in 1986-88, and then became vice-president of the party. He also presides the Cercle national des combattants, a veteran association close to the FN. He supported Le Pen against Bruno Mégret's attempted coup, and pretends to follow Jean-Pierre Stirbois's nationalist and solidarist current.
