Camille Petit (2 April 1912 – 2 August 1993) was a French politician from Saint-Esprit, Martinique.

Biography

Medical career and public health practice

Petit was a doctor by profession. After completing his studies at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris in 1938, he worked in a hospital in Fort-de-France and others in Paris. He was involved in setting up Martinique's "Шаблон:Ill" (the drop of milk) project with the Union des Femmes de la Martinique (Women's Union of Martinique), which worked to give mothers access to more information about nutrition for babies.

Political career

In his political career, he pioneered the Gaullist movement in Martinique. In 1958, he participated in the official creation of the Union for the New Republic (UNR) of Martinique, a political party, he became departmental secretary from 1958 to 1965. From its creation, the UNR of Martinique fiercely defended the complete assimilation of Martinique to France and the status of an overseas department.

He was a great admirer of General de Gaulle and a convinced assimilationist, opposing Martinique's autonomists, who were in favor of Martinique's separation from France. Throughout his political career, he demonstrated an unwavering attachment to the French nation and to republican values.

He was one of the founding members of the Шаблон:Ill (Martinique History Society), in 1955. The history society established itself as an organisation which overcame the political, as can be seen in its offering interest to such differing personalities as Petit and his fellow society member, Aimé Césaire.
