Emmanuel Taché

Emmanuel Taché is a French politician who serves as a deputy for the National Rally (Rassemblement National, RN) representing the 16th constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône. Recently, he made headlines after being ordered by a Lille court to stop using the noble surname 'Taché de la Pagerie,' which he adopted during his election campaign in 2022. The court ruling was a result of a lawsuit brought by the descendants of the Tascher de la Pagerie family, who claimed that Taché was improperly using their illustrious name for political gain. The court's decision requires him to cease using the name by October 1, 2025, and he faces penalties for non-compliance.
