Casimir Pierre Périer

Casimir Pierre Périer ( born October 11, 1777 Grenoble, † May 16, 1832 in Paris) was a French statesman.

Périer came from an upper middle-class merchant family. After a career as a banker and Regent of the Banque de France in 1817 he was a member of the National Assembly. Although he opposed the attempts of Charles X and his ministers to strengthen the monarchy, but also spoke out against the July Revolution of 1830. After the revolution he was 6 to 21 August 1830 and from 11 November 1830 to the May 31, 1831 First President of the Parliament, from 13 March 1831 to his death Prime Minister and Interior Minister of France at the same time. With high hardness, he took action against coup attempts of the left and right. Périer sat through a census suffrage and abolished the heritability of the pair track down, whereby the Parliament opened wider for the middle class. In foreign policy, he promoted after the Belgian Revolution, the independence of Belgium. He died of cholera.
