Jean-Yves Hugon (French: [ʒˈɑ̃-ˈiv yɡˈɔ̃]; 16 May 1949 – 24 April 2026) was a French politician of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).[1]

Life and career

Born in Aurillac on 16 May 1949, Hugon first worked as a German teacher before entering politics in 2001. That year, he was elected to the municipal council of Châteauroux under mayor Jean-François Mayet.[2] He served as Deputy Mayor of Sport, International Relations, and Sister Cities from 2008 to 2014[3] before serving as First Deputy Mayor from 2014 to 2020.[4]

In 2002, Hugon was elected as a deputy of the National Assembly, representing Indre's 1st constituency.[5] There, he was a member of the National Defence and Armed Forces Committee.[6] In 2007, he was defeated in the second round by 374 votes against Michel Sapin.[7][8] In 2009, he ran for a seat in the European Parliament under the UMP group led by Jean-Pierre Audy, but he was unsuccessful.[9] In 2012, he was unable to secure the UMP's nomination for Indre's 1st constituency in the National Assembly, which instead went to François Jolivet.[10][11]

In 2015, Hugon was elected to the Departmental Council of Indre,[12] representing the Canton of Châteauroux-2 alongside Imane Jbara-Sounni.[13]

Hugon died in Châteauroux on 24 April 2026, at the age of 76.[14]
