==Early life==
{{BLP unsourcedunreferenced section|date=November 2016}}
Juppé was born Alain Marie Juppé on 15 August 1945, in [[Mont-de-Marsan]], [[Aquitaine]]. His father was Robert Juppé (1915-1998), a Gaullist resistance fighter at the end of [[World War II]], who came from a family of railwaymen and later became a farmer, and his mother was Marie Darroze (1910-2004), the devoted Catholic daughter of a judge.
 
His secondary studies have taken place at the [[Lycée Victor-Duruy (Mont-de-Marsan)|Lycée Victor-Duruy high school]] ([[Landes (department)|Landes]]). At 17, he graduated with a ''[[baccalauréatBaccalauréat]]''. He then came to [[Paris]] for a [[Khâgne|literary preparatory classe]] at the [[Lycée Louis-le-Grand]] and entered the {{Lang|fr|[[École Normale Supérieure]]|École Normale Supérieureitalic=no}} (ENS)]] in 1964 to get a Classics ''[[agrégation]]'' in 1967. He completed his degrees at [[Sciences Po]] (1968) and at the [[École nationale d'administration|National School of Administration (ENA)]] (1970-1972). From 1969 to 1970, he executed his compulsory military service.
 
== Political career ==
Line 97 ⟶ 102:
He was minister of budget and spokesperson of Jacques Chirac's government from 1986 to 1988. He contributed to the free-market policy of [[Edouard Balladur]], minister of Finances, during these years. During the [[1988 French presidential election|1988 presidential election]], he combined these positions with those of spokesman of Chirac's campaign and head of his support committee.
 
Then, he was secretary general of the [[Gaullist Party|Rally for the Republic]] (''Rassemblement pour la République'' or RPR) [[political party]] from 1988 to 1995. His role was to maintain Chirac's leadership on the party against the rise of the younger generation of "renovators" and of sovereignist Gaullists such as [[Philippe Séguin]] and [[Charles Pasqua]]. Pasqua humorously wrote in his Memoirs : "''The RPR was now ruled like the North-Korean Communist Party... without the enlightened leadership of [[Kim Il-sung Sung]]''". He led the RPR-UDF alliance with former President [[Valéry Giscard d'Estaing]] for the [[1989 European elections]] but resigned from the [[European Parliament]] some months later because he was only needed to be a kind of electoral locomotive. In 1992, Chirac and Juppé supported the [[treaty of Maastricht]] against the majority of the RPR's members. The Gaullist fringe then considered him as a traitor.
 
In 1993, he was made [[Édouard Balladur]]'s Foreign Minister. Along with [[President Mitterrand]], he advocated a French expedition in Rwanda to save the most possible of threaten lives, while Prime minister Balladur and Defense minister [[François Léotard]] were fearing a slip toward a colonial intervention. Juppé defended the [[Opération Turquoise|Turquoise Operation]] at the [[United Nations]]. Some controversies have emerged later on this subject (in August 2008, he was named in a Rwandan government report on the alleged ''French connection'' in the Rwanda genocide during his tenure as Foreign Minister<ref>[http://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/monde/le-rwanda-menace-de-poursuivre-balladur-juppe-vedrine-et-villepin_546276.html Le Rwanda menace de poursuivre Balladur, Juppé, Védrine et Villepin – L'EXPRESS] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090610053611/http://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/monde/le-rwanda-menace-de-poursuivre-balladur-juppe-vedrine-et-villepin_546276.html |date=10 June 2009 }}. Lexpress.fr. Retrieved 9 April 2011.</ref>). From a general point of view, he has been considered to be one of the best Foreign ministers in France's recent history. Although he held the position of president of the [[RPR (France)|RPR]], he participated in the debate and endorsed Jacques Chirac instead of Balladur in the [[1995 French presidential election|1995 presidential election]].

In 2010, after the disappointed result of the [[2010 French regional elections|regional elections of the ruling UMP]], Nicolas Sarkozy called Alain Juppé to come back in government. Juppé refused the Justice Ministry and Interior Ministry. He accepted to be [[Minister of the Armed Forces (France)|Minister of Defense]].

=== Immigration and Islam===
In 1977, he proposed granting preferential status for jobs to French citizens. In 1990, he judged that immigration was "a permanent and huge" problem. The same year, the general meeting of the RPR led to strict propositions : borders closing, suspension of immigration, and declarations of the incompatibility between Islam and French laws. {{cncitation needed|Datedate=October 2022}}
 
His position changed in the late 1990s. He supported a [[MEDEF]] report asking for more immigration on the labour market. In 2002, he said "the French peoples have perfectly understood that we need to welcome more foreigners in Europe and in France". He has also denied the effectiveness of a [[cultural assimilation]] of migrants and advocates a simple [[Social integration|integration]], wanting to "happy identity". His positions are harshly criticized by the right-wing part of his party and by the National Front. [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] have mocked him as a naïve idealist and a "prophet of happiness".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/14/alain-juppe-france-prophet-happiness-presidential-wows-rally-crowd |title=Alain Juppé, France's 'prophet of happiness', promises hope |work=The Guardian |location=London |author=Chrisafis, Angelique |date=14 September 2016 |access-date=30 October 2016 |archive-date=7 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161107042610/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/14/alain-juppe-france-prophet-happiness-presidential-wows-rally-crowd |url-status=live }}</ref>
