Roger Meï (3 May 1935 – 4 May 2025) was a French politician.

Life and career

Meï's grandfather immigrated to France from Tuscany, settling in La Ciotat, where he found work at a shipyard. Meï was born in Hyères on 3 May 1935, and grew up poor on Porquerolles.[1]

Meï was elected mayor of Gardanne in 1977 and served for 43 years, until Hervé Granier replaced in him in 2020.[2][3] Each of his mayoral opponents had lost in the first round, except during the 1989 election cycle.[4][5] He was a member of the National Assembly from 1996 to 2002, representing Bouches-du-Rhône's 10th constituency for the French Communist Party.[6]

Meï died in Gardanne on 4 May 2025, at the age of 90.[7]
