Roger Holeindre (born 21 March 1929) is a French politician, vice-president of the National Front (FN) far-right party. He is a representant of the “national-conservative” tendency, opposed to the “nationalist revolutionaries” (closer to Third Position ideologies). Holeindre was part of the “TSM” current (Tous sauf Mégret, Anybody But Mégret), along with Samuel Maréchal, Marine Le Pen, Jean-Claude Martinez, and the Catholic current represented by Bernard Antony and Bruno Gollnisch, as well as Martine Lehideux. Holleindre is the president of the Cercle national des combattants, a veterans associations close to the FN.
He was born in Corrano, Corse-du-Sud, but grow up in Vosges and then Seine-Saint-Denis. In 1989, he wrote À tous ceux qui n'ont rien compris ("To those who haven't understood a thing") in which he claims to have stolen two machine guns from the Germans in August 1944 and that the operation got a friend killed. It hasn't been proven or denied he joined any Resistance organisation afterwards, but it can be assumed he never had any connection with the German occupation forces as he didn't spent any jail sentence after 1945 (which was a pre-requisite to any investigation for suspicious persons about collaboration in France at that time).
After working as a steel worker, he volunteered for the Indochina War in 1948 and later for the Algerian War .
After being almost fatally wounded in the head, he was demobilized and lived in the city of Tebessa in the Est of Algeria. He created there a youth center for education of muslims locals.
