Biography

Pascal Clément was born on 12 May 1945 in Boulogne-Billancourt, France.[1]

He was first elected to the National Assembly of France in 1978, where he served until 1993.[1][2] From March 1993 to May 1995, he served as Minister of Parliamentary Relations.[1][2] In June 1995, he joined the National Assembly again after Jacques Cyprès stepped down, and he served until 2005.[1][2] From June 2005 to May 2007, he served as Minister of Justice.[1][2]

In 2009, he clashed with Nora Berra after he allegedly said "The day there will be as many minarets as cathedrals, this country won't be France any more."[3][4] Both Berra and Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet left the room as they found it anti-Muslim, though he later denied he ever said that.[3][5]
