Biography

edit

Fouquart was in July 1966 in Maubeuge. He joined the French Navy at the age of 16 before becoming an officer in the National Gendarmerie in 1990.[1][2] He moved to Martigues in 2011.[3]

Fouquart has said he became politically active after being disappointed by the victory of François Hollande in the 2012 French presidential election and joined the National Front a year later. He was elected as a councilor for the National Front in Martigues in 2014 and that same year took over as chairman of the National Front's branch in Martigues. During the 2024 French legislative election he contested Bouches-du-Rhône's 13th constituency and defeated outgoing French Communist Party deputy Pierre Dharréville in the second round.[4]
