Charles Pasqua
Charles Pasqua was a prominent French politician known for his role as a member of the Rassemblement pour la République (RPR) and later the Union pour un mouvement populaire (UMP). Born on April 18, 1927, he served as Minister of the Interior and was a key figure in French politics during the 1990s. Pasqua was particularly noted for his tough stance on immigration and security issues, which often put him at odds with more liberal factions.

He remained an influential figure until his retirement from active politics, leaving a complex legacy that continues to resonate in contemporary political discussions.
