Gérard Collomb
Gérard Collomb OQ (French pronunciation: [ʒeʁaʁ kɔlɔ̃]; 20 June 1947 – 25 November 2023) was a French politician who served as Mayor of Lyon from 2001 to 2017 and again from 2018 until 2020. He joined La République En Marche! (LREM) in 2017, when he left the Socialist Party (PS), which he had joined in 1969. Collomb was Minister of the Interior in the first and second government of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe from 2017 to 2018. Disagreements with President Emmanuel Macron over immigration policy led him to resign and return as Mayor of Lyon. He was a councillor for both the City of Lyon and Metropolis of Lyon from 2020 until his death in 2023.
