Roger Sénié (19 July 1920 – 11 September 2021) was a French politician. [1] He served as Mayor of La Bastide-de-Bousignac from 1947 to 2014 as a member of the Rally for the Republic (RPR) and the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP). In 2014, he was the oldest mayor in France alongside Arthur Richier . [2]
Sénié succeeded his former schoolteacher as Mayor of La Bastide-de-Bousignac in 1947. His grandfather had served as Mayor from 1920 to 1929. In 2001, Jean Cazal, one of Sénié's municipal councilors since 1977, set up a rival coalition and put his re-election campaign in doubt. However, Sénié remained victorious, winning 65% of the vote. [3]
In 2008, Sénié was re-elected for the 11th time. However, the election results were annulled by Toulouse administrative tribunal on 6 June 2008. [4] The elections took place again on 20 July, resulting in a victory for Sénié with 66% of the vote. [5] On 15 June 2013, he, along with the rest of the municipal council, resigned in protest of the prefecture's decision to include La Bastide-de-Bousignac in the Communauté de communes du Pays de Mirepoix , which would cause the commune to lose €145,000 in annual tax revenue. [6] He then began a hunger strike. [7] He was elected back into office on 21 July 2013. [8] He did not stand for re-election in 2014. [9]
Roger Sénié died on 11 September 2021 at the age of 101. [10]
