Christian Piquemal (born 17 December 1940 in Huos (Haute-Garonne)), is a retired[1] army corps general of the French Army and Commandant[1] of the Legion[1] from 1994 to 1999.
At 75, he was struck off the generals of the 2nd section for breach of the duty of reserve and loyalty after participating in a far-right political demonstration in 2016 around the Calais Jungle (the statute of soldiers in France provides that they are subject to a strict obligation of reserve).[2][3]
In 2021, he is one of the signatories of a controversial letter from former generals and retired military personnel.
