Noël Mamère

In December 2017, the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life considered that there were serious doubts about the completeness, accuracy and truthfulness of Noël Mamère's end-of-term asset declaration because of the omission of a substantial portion of his assets. It referred the case to the Paris public prosecutor.

The Interior Minister suspended him from his duties as mayor for one month. The marriage was subsequently annulled, with the annulment upheld by the Court of Cassation in 2007.

As the Green Party's candidate in the 2002 presidential election, Noël Mamère made phasing out nuclear power central to his campaign. After Lionel Jospin reiterated that he did not want France to abandon nuclear power, Mamère declared that he could not see how he could call for a vote for Jospin in the second round, triggering a crisis in the governing left coalition.
