Philippe de Villiers

   

Philippe de Villiers (born March 25, 1949 as viscount Philippe le Jolis de Villiers de Saintignon) is a French conservative politician.

Born in Boulogne in the département of Vendée, he is, as of 2004, deputy to the French National Assembly for the département of Vendée.

A sub-prefect, he resigned in 1981 because he did not want to serve the government of left-wing president François Mitterrand.

He was a member of the Union for French Democracy political party. He now leads the Mouvement pour la France, which has achieved some success in elections for the European Parliament but fell back in 2004, with de Villiers being elected to the Parliament along with two colleagues.

He is known for his conservative, traditionalist and eurosceptic positions.
