Gabriel Fleurent

Gabriel Fleurent (also Gabriel Fleurent-Agricola) d. June 1936 was the founder and leader of the French Agrarian and Peasant Party (, PAPF), a corporatist, right-wing populist and agrarian party.

He set up a sugar beet producers association in France.

The party was founded after Fleurent visited Eastern Europe, visited existing peasant based parties and was from the start aligned with the International Agrarian Bureau.

In 1934 it joined the Front paysan with the more right wing Comités de défense paysanne and the Union nationale des syndicats agricoles. although it fell apart in 1936 due to differences in political strategy. Provided by Wikipedia
