Pierre Mauroy Obituary
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Mauroy died Friday in a hospital in a Paris suburb. He had been suffering from cancer.
Mauroy served as prime minister from 1981 to 1984 under Socialist President Francois Mitterrand. His reforms included cutting the legal work week, lowering the retirement age and raising the number of paid holidays.
His reforms helped reduce poverty but also led to higher inflation and a widening budget deficit, forcing a government U-turn. He resigned in 1984.
President Francois Hollande said Mauroy "was a Socialist and he wanted social justice to inspire all his acts."

May Pierre rest and may he be alive again, for he is only asleep. May he wake up in paradise. Also be anew and young and healthy and in all perfection.

Pierre Maurory hard work for social reforms and it was greatly appreciated by the people in France I'm sure. But one human can not accomplish this massive world wide problem. SO Almighty God has provide a 'Prince of Peace' as mention in Isaiah 9:6,7 to do this. May this comfort you all.
