Jean-Claude Lefort (15 December 1944 – 19 June 2024) was a French politician. He was a French Communist Party deputy from Val-de-Marne from 1988 to 2007.

Life

Born in Paris, Lefort spent his childhood and youth in Bagnolet, Seine-Saint-Denis, in modest circumstances. His father, a workman, had taken up arms alongside the Republican faction in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War, while his mother was a childcare staffer at a school.[1]

As a member of the national bureau of the Mouvement jeunes communistes de France (MJCF) and, beginning in 1964, of the French Communist Party, he was Party Secretary General Georges Marchais's private secretary. In 1983 he became secretary of the Party's Val-de-Marne federation; the Party's membership at this time was some 30,000.

Lefort was elected deputy from Val-de-Marne's 10th constituency, a seat that he held from 1988 to 2007.

As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee across three sittings of French Parliament ("législatures"), he took part in many international negotiations and busied himself with many matters.[1] In 1998, he proposed to create an "investigative committee into French responsibility in the genocide perpetrated in Rwanda".[2] Lefort eventually became this body's vice-chairman, although it was now named the Mission d'information parlementaire sur le Rwanda, but he found himself disagreeing with the mission report's final conclusions and refused to be counted as a co-author.[3]

In memory of the struggle against fascism in Spain, Lefort was a founding co-chairman of the Association of Friends of Combatants in Republican Spain (Association des amis des combattants en Espagne républicaine; Acer), with José Fort and François Asensi. Thanks to his prerogatives within the Foreign Affairs Committee, he was able to recover part of the International Brigades' archives that had been deposited in Moscow.[1]

Lefort was rapporteur on economic relations between the European Union and the United States. He participated in the World Trade Organization's (WTO) working meetings from 1999 to 2007. Noting the absence of parliamentary control over the executive's various international activities, he sought to establish a delegation in Parliament that would be in charge of such issues. He also authored parliamentary reports on the South. He wrote a report on the agreements between European Union (EU) countries and member countries of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) with the references "Has the WTO lost the South?" and also "EU–OACPS: holding out a hand or a fist?"

Beginning in 2007, Lefort was the honorary chairman of Appui Rwanda, a support association for survivors of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda in 1994.[4]

In May 2009, Lefort was elected chairman of the Association France-Palestine Solidarité (AFPS), after the movement's second congress. He succeeded Bernard Ravenel. He was the coordinator of the National Support Committee for Salah Hamouri.

In October 2013, Lefort called for Minister of the Interior Manuel Valls to resign over his policies towards the Romani people. He reminded the Socialist of his own emigration from Spain to flee Francisco Franco's régime, and compared it to the Romani people's situation, suffering discrimination in their countries of origin. He referred to himself as "Jean-Claude Lefort, fils de Manouche" ("Jean-Claude Lefort, Gipsy's son").[5].


En juin 2015, il met en garde les musulmans contre des produits israéliens, avertissement commenté dans la presse[6].Gilles-William Goldnadel dépose plainte contre lui au nom de l'association France-Israël[6]. Jean-Claude Lefort remporte le procès[7].

Jean-Claude Lefort quitte le Parti communiste français le 19 janvier 2024, « avec une douleur extrême », à la suite d'un différend avec son secrétaire général Fabien Roussel sur le conflit israélo-palestinien[1].

Il meurt d'un cancer le 19 juin 2024[1].
