Valéry Giscard d'Estaing  

Definition

  • Born on February 2, 1926, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing became one of the youngest French (assistant) ministers in 1959 and then full finance minister in 1962. When dismissed from the government in 1965, he founded a Center Right party, the Fédération Nationale des Républicains Indépendants, and slowly achieved a national stature by dissociating more and more from ruling President General de Gaulle.
