Bernadette Isaac-Sibille (30 March 1930 – 2 January 2021) was a French politician.[1]

Career[edit]

Isaac-Sibille was elected Mayor of the 5th arrondissement of Lyon in 1983. She served as a municipal councillor until her resignation in 1995. In 1999, she resigned from the Union for French Democracy to challenge Anne-Marie Comparini as President of the Regional council of Rhône-Alpes in place of Charles Millon.[2] In the 2001 French municipal elections, she was defeated by Alexandrine Pesson by a margin of 50.73% to 49.27%.[3]

In the 1985 French cantonal elections, Isaac-Sibille ran for the Canton of Lyon-V, defeating candidates from the Socialist Party and National Front. She was re-elected in 1992 and 1998.[citation needed]

Isaac-Sibille was elected to the National Assembly in 1988 to represent Rhône's 1st constituency, defeating the Socialist Party's Gérard Collomb.[4] She was re-elected in 1993 with 70.65% of the vote. She defeated Collomb again in 1997. In 2002, Anne-Marie Comparini was chosen to represent the Union for French Democracy.[5] Therefore, Isaac-Sibille represented the Miscellaneous right, but only received 12.10% of the vote in the first round.[6] She refused to support Comparini, citing a "betrayal" in 1999.[7]

In 2003, Isaac-Sibille became a member of the Commission de surveillance et de contrôle des publications destinées à l'enfance et à l'adolescence. She also served as president of the association for the Médaille de la Famille française.[citation needed]

Personal life[edit]

Born Bernadette Sibille, she married Alain Isaac on 14 January 1957, and they remained together until his death in April 2017.[8] They had four children, including Democratic Movement politician Cyrille Isaac-Sibille.[9] Isaac-Sibille died on 2 January 2021 at the age of 90.
