Émile Laurens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Émile Laurens was a Radical-Socialist deputy for Blois from 1935[1] to 1940 and a mayor of Blois.

He replaced Camille Chautemps as the deputy for Blois in a 1935 by-election where he narrowly beat the militant agrarian leader Henry Dorgères in the second round of voting.[1]

He died during the Battle of France when the German army bombed the former Town Hall on 16 June 1940, killing him in the process.
