Gabriel Fleurent
Gabriel Fleurent (also Gabriel Fleurent-Agricola[1]) d. June 1936[2] was the founder and leader of the French Agrarian and Peasant Party (French: Parti agraire et paysan français, PAPF),[3] a corporatist, right-wing populist and agrarian party.
He set up a sugar beet producers association in France.[4]
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.[5]
In 1934 it joined the Front paysan with the more right wing Comités de défense paysanne and the Union nationale des syndicats agricoles.[6] although it fell apart in 1936 due to differences in political strategy.[7]
