Biography[edit]
Born on 20 January 1942, Pernin was the son of fellow politician Paul Pernin. He worked for Le Monde as a journalist for 20 years.[1] In 1995, under the list of Camille Cabana, he was elected Mayor of the 12th arrondissement of Paris and became an advisor to President Jacques Chirac. In 2001, he battled socialist Michèle Blumenthal before narrowly losing in the second round.[2] However, he was elected to the Council of Paris that year. In 2007, he ran for the National Assembly in Paris's 8th constituency, losing in the first round after obtaining 12.31% of the vote.[3]
In 2008, he refused to run with MoDem and instead entered the race as an independent.[4] He earned 6.50% of the vote.[5]
Jean-François Pernin died on 13 February 2024, at the age of 82.[6]
