Jules Méline
Jules Méline (1838-1925) was a French politician and a key figure in the late 19th century, known for his role as one of the first ministers of agriculture in France. He advocated for protectionist policies, notably during a time of economic downturn in Europe, proposing significant increases in customs duties to safeguard French agriculture and industry. His actions and ideas have drawn parallels to modern political figures, with some commentators referring to him as a precursor to Donald Trump due to his emphasis on national economic protectionism. Méline's legacy includes his influence on agricultural policy and customs legislation in France, and he is remembered for his contributions during a pivotal period of economic transition.
