Yves Jégo (born 17 April 1961) is a French politician, member (député) of the French National Assembly for the third constituency of Seine-et-Marne (Paris region) and Mayor of Montereau-Fault-Yonne (Seine-et-Marne).

He is the general delegate of the Union of Democrats and Independents,[1] since the party’s creation in October 2012. He is also vice president of the Radical Party and president of the Communauté de communes des deux fleuves.

He was appointed Secretary of State for Overseas in the government of François Fillon on 18 March 2008. Jégo was the Minister in charge during the 2009 French Caribbean general strikes, in which the strikers were protesting against high living costs and particularly the costs of food and fuel. As he undertook the dismantling of monopolies, his role was the subject of controversy.[2] He was replaced by Marie-Luce Penchard on 23 June 2009 and was not given another portfolio.

Jégo has been an MP (député) since 2002, and mayor of Montereau-Fault-Yonne since 1995. He was the spokesman for the Union for a Popular Movement, when the party was ruling. He is also founder and president of a local party Mieux Vivre Ensemble (MVE), formerly known as Mouvement des Seine-et-Marnais (MdSM).

Electoral mandates

While most members of the French parliament are also mayors or general (department) or regional councillor,[3] Yves Jégo is one of the rare to cumulate three elected offices.

1. National Assembly of France

2. Municipal Council

Yves Jégo's four electoral mandates, between March 2010 and July 2011.

3. Community of communes Council

Regional Council

Accumulation of electoral mandates

According to French law[4] against accumulation of electoral mandates, M. Jégo should have resigned from one of the three first mandates in this list before the 21st of April 2010. But giving as a pretext a legal complaint from the Front National's candidates, he still held the three of them, plus his local mandate of president of the « communauté de communes des deux fleuves » (CC2F) until his resignation from the Regional Council in July 2011.

In September 2011, Yves Jégo failed to become a member of the Senate of France. In June 2012, he was re elected as a member of the National Assembly.
