Louis Aliot (born 4 September 1969) is a French politician, a lawyer by profession, and the vice president of the Front National since 16 January 2011. A member of the FN Executive Office, Executive Committee and Central Committee, Louis Aliot has been a regional councillor since 1998 (Midi-Pyrénées : 1998–2010, Languedoc-Roussillon : 2010—) and a municipal councillor of Perpignan (2008–2009).
Aliot was born in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, to a family of French Algerian (Pied-noir) descent. His grandfather was Algerian Jewish. In the 1998 French regional elections, he was elected regional councillor of the Midi-Pyrénées and represented the department of Haute-Garonne during six years.
He then became a close collaborator of FN leader Jean-Marie Le Pen and played an active role in Le Pen's 2002 electoral campaign. He was sent to Perpignan to re-launch a divided and weakened FN federation.
In the 2004 regional elections, he led the FN list in the Midi-Pyrénées and polled 11.78% (141,598 votes) in the first round and 12.06% (149.417 votes) in the run-off with eight regional councillors elected. He has been a president of the FN group in the regional council during six years (2004–2010).
In the 2008 municipal elections, he led the FN list in Perpignan, polling 12.29% in the first round (4,543 votes) and 10.42% in the run-off (4,368 votes) with two municipal councillors elected. His result was one of the few good results for the FN, which suffered severe loses nationwide.
In the 2009 municipal by-election, he again led the FN list but lost his municipal seat in the first round (9.42%, 3,382 votes). Since June 2009, the FN is not represented in the municipal council of Perpignan. In order to take part in the run-off, a municipal list must cross the minimal threshold of 10% of the valid votes.
