Jean-François Humbert
Jean-François Humbert was a prominent French politician who served as the president of the Franche-Comté region from 1998 to 2004 and was a senator from 1998 to 2014. Known for his strong republican convictions, he made headlines in 1998 by refusing to govern with the support of the far-right Front National after an election that left no party with an absolute majority. His commitment to democratic principles was highlighted when he resigned from the presidency upon the party's support and later regained the position without their votes. Humbert also chaired a parliamentary commission on doping in sports during his time in the Senate. He passed away on November 20, 2023, at the age of 73, leaving a legacy as a staunch advocate against alliances with extremist parties.
