Paul Antier

Paul Antier (20 May 1905 – 23 October 1996) was a French politician and lawyer who served as a key advocate for agrarian interests in France.

He was a member of the National Assembly (France) for Haute-Loire and held ministerial positions under the Fourth Republic.

He followed in his father's footsteps, studying law and showing an early interest in agricultural issues.

He joined the Agrarian and Peasant Party and quickly became known for his advocacy on behalf of small farmers, particularly opposing modernization policies that threatened rural traditions.

He advocated for fair pricing and subsidies to support farmers against the pressures of industrialization and European market integration.
