Christiane Taubira Biography

Christiane Taubira is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 2, 1952 in Cayenne, French Guiana. Christiane Taubira was born on February 2, 1952, at Cayenne, French Guiana, France. She completed her studies in the field of economics and business in Pantheon-Assas University. Taubira is the sibling to French political figure Jean-Marie Taubira, who is Secretary General of the Guianese Progressive Party.

Taubira was the driver behind the 21 May 2001 law that recognizes that the Atlantic slavery trade as well as considers slavery an act of human rights violation. The year 2013 was the last time she expressed the support of land reforms within France’s Caribbean territories to compensate for slavery.

As Minister of Justice, Taubira formally introduced the electoral promise of François Hollande. It became Law 2013-404, which legalised same-sex marriage in France.

She allowed the Guyanese political party Walwari to make a direct citation in the Cayenne criminal court against Anne-Sophie Leclère, a candidate for the Front National who relayed on her Facebook page in October 2013 a racist cartoon comparing Christine Taubira to a monkey. She was sentenced to nine months in prison and five years of ineligibility by the court before the judgement was quashed on appeal as Walwari’s action was deemed invalid. In September 2016, the Paris criminal court, which had opened an investigation when the facts were revealed, found Anne-Sophie Leclère guilty of the crime of public insult and sentenced her to a suspended fine of 3,000 euros. In November 2013, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the comments, which it considered as racist attacks against Christine Taubira, in particular on the cover of the extreme right-wing weekly Minute, which featured her photo with the caption: “Clever as a monkey, Taubira finds the banana”. The weekly rejects the accusation of racism, arguing that it merely used two French expressions, “the second of which – the part about the banana – is familiarly used to describe a person in good shape”. The minister denounced comments of “extreme violence” denying her “belonging to the human race”. The weekly’s editor was sentenced to a fine of 10,000 euros for its front page on 30 October 2014. The public prosecutor’s office has appealed against the fine as it was too lenient.

Serving as Presidency and President of The Walwari Party, Mme Taubira in 1993 was a deputy to the French National Assembly, being elected in 1997. In 1993, she was unaffiliated, and later voted for moderate Edouard Balladur to create the Cabinet of Ministers in 1993. She won an election as a member of the European Parliament (MEP), being fourth on the Energie Radicale list led by Bernard Tapie. Then, in June of 1997 she became a member of to the Socialist Party (PS), and the then-Prime Minister Lionel Jospin (PS) appointed her to head a commission of the government to study Gold mining and extraction in Guiana.
