Political background

edit

Born in April 1966 in Strasbourg, from a Welche family from the Bruche valley, Frédéric Bierry was fifteen years old when he decided that he would go into politics, while his parents were workers in a textile company in Coframaille.[3]

He graduated with a master's degree in private law and became a professor of economics and social sciences.[4] He entered politics in 1993 as a parliamentary attaché to UMP deputy Alain Ferry[5] and then to Laurent Furst.[6][7]

Former president of the Radical Party 67, he was the mayor of Schirmeck from 1995 to 2015, elected to the general council of Bas-Rhin in 2004 and re-elected in 2011 in the canton of Schirmeck.

He was elected departmental councilor for Bas-Rhin in the canton of Mutzig on March 29, 2015, in tandem with Frédérique Mozziconacci (DVD), with 63.26% of the votes.[8][9]

On April 2, he was elected to the presidency of the departmental council of Bas-Rhin where he was the only candidate of the right-wing majority.[10] He succeeded Guy-Dominique Kennel [fr] (UMP), who held the presidency from March 2008 to April 2015.

He supported Bruno Le Maire for the 2016 Republican presidential primary.[11]

Mobilization for Alsace

On February 3, 2017, the departmental councils of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin meeting in Colmar unanimously adopted a motion solemnly affirming the need for Alsace to regain an institutional and political identity, and announcing the creation of a territorial assembly of Alsace.[12] His fight for the return of an Alsatian institution continued with Brigitte Klinkert[13] elected to the presidency of Haut-Rhin following the resignation of Eric Straumann for non-accumulation of mandates on September 1, 2017.[14][15]

Following the statement by Prime Minister Jean Castex in Colmar on January 23, 2021, stating that he was "never convinced by these immense regions, some of which do not respond to any historical legitimacy, and above all do not seem to me to respond to the growing needs of our fellow citizens for local public action”,[16][17] he called for the dismemberment of the Grand Est region and the transfer of its powers to the new community.[18][19]

Social report and solidarity policies

edit

On October 5, 2016, Frédéric Bierry presented a report to the Assembly of the departments of France on the future of the social policies of the departments.[20]

Noting that the French social model is "obsolete and unsuitable",[21] he recommended a social model of alternation based on 5 fundamental pillars: efficiency, responsibility, dignity, the ability to involve and credibility.[22][23]

The report considered that the complexity of the current social model undermines its effectiveness. It proposed simplification measures, in particular the merger of the 10 social minima into 2 benefits, the simplification of administrative procedures and the establishment of a single point of contact for each user.[24]
