Maxime Tandonnet (7 October 1958 – 21 September 2024) was a French civil servant and writer.[1]

Life and career

[edit]

Born in Caudéran [fr] on 7 October 1958, Tandonnet graduated from the Institut d'études politiques de Bordeaux in 1979 and from the École nationale d'administration in 1992.[2] After his military service in the French Navy, he was named as a secretary of foreign affairs at the Embassy of France in Sudan for two years. He then joined the directorate for French citizens abroad in North Africa and the Middle East.[3] In 1992, the Minister of the Interior named him private secretary to Prefect of Indre-et-Loire and subsequently to Prefect of Yvelines [fr] Claude Érignac. In 2008, he was named a member of the Inspection générale de l'administration [fr].[4]

In 2007, Tandonnet became an advisor on immigration at the Élysée Palace, a post he held until 2011.[5] He then resumed his duties as an inspector-general for the Minister of the Interior.[6] The press lauded him as President Nicolas Sarkozy's main advisor on immigration,[7] though he faced criticism for the proximity of his beliefs to those of the National Front.[8] In addition to his administrative career, he regularly contributed to Le Figaro,[9] Atlantico,[10] Le Journal du Dimanche,[11][12] and the Revue Politique et Parlementaire.[13] He also became a guest instructor on immigration policy at Paris-East Créteil University in 2011.[14]

Tandonnet died on 21 September 2024,[1] at the age of 65.[12]
