Regional Council of Limousin (French : Conseil régional du Limousin, Occitan : Conselh regional de Lemosin) was the deliberative assembly of the French region of Limousin until 31 December 2015, following the incorporation of the region with Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine in order to form the new region Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
It had 43 members as of 2015, with its headquarters in the Hôtel de région located in Limoges. The building was constructed between 1986 and 1988, designed by architect Christian Langlois.
Its last president was Gérard Vandenbroucke (PS), elected on 14 October 2014. [1] [2]
The Limousin Regional Council was the only one in France, with that of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, to have been constantly dominated by the left, [3] and the only one to have only had socialist presidents.
The law of July 19, 1985 defined the terms of election of regional councilors, the number of which must correspond to twice the total number of parliamentarians in the region, to which one seat is added to avoid possible blockages. This rule was to give 29 seats to the Limousin regional council, but pressure from Louis Longequeue and Jean-Claude Cassaing allowed Limousin to obtain an exemption, with 41 seats (43 from 1991). [4]
