Bernard Benjamin Bonnet Bryson Barrett Bertrand Beaumont is a Fravi politician who is serving as the 8th President and Premier of Fravina, and as General Secretary of the Social Labour Party. He served as Vice President under Pierre Blanchet and Jean-Michel Garnier, resigning in 2008 as a protest againt Garnier's shift towards authoritarianism.
Early Life
Bernard Benjamin Bonnet Bryson Barrett Bertrand Beaumont was born on 14 December 1953 in Cour de Valentine, a mid-sized city in Orléans, Fravina, to butcher Jacques-Maurice Beaumont and typist Évelyn Pleven. In 1956, his family relocated to Maximillien, a small fishing town in Romarin, to support his paternal family after his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. In his autobiography, Beaumont describes how he helped around his family fishery. "On the weekends, Uncle Edgar would wake me up at 5 A.M., even when it was still dark out," Beaumont wrote. "We would work 6 hours, eat lunch on the boat, then work for another 6 hours. It was grueling work, but just being able to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets everyday made it worth it."
In 1969, after graduating from school, Beaumont was drafted into the Fravina Navy. He was stationed in Port de Barbier, Barbier, where he served for 2 years. Beaumont often cites his naval service as having an immense impact on his political development. He claims both interaction with southern socialists and his friendships with fellow seamen made him more committed to the collective good and to socialist ideology. In July 1971, a few months before his discharge, he met then-president Lucien LaClaire during a naval ceremony in Barbier. Beaumont was honorably discharged on 1 January 1972, and he returned to civilian life.
In September 1971, a few months before his service ended, Beaumont started attending university in Seylos, majoring in philosophy. Although his grades were average, his professors commended him as being a "fast thinker". During his second year at university, Beaumont officially became a member of the Social Labour Party. He went on to study law at Université Nationale de Droit de Fort d'Olivier, graduating in June 1978.
Early Career
After finishing a law program, Beaumont became a certified lawyer in late 1978. He moved to Port de Sang, joining the city's prosecutor's office. During his years as a practicing lawyer, he was noted for being brilliant in court. Contempararies called him "dangerous" and a "master in laying traps", despite his relaxed and affable demeanor. However, Beaumont has countered this image of himself, saying in an 1999 interview, "I wasn't great in court. Roger Lalonde was great in court. I am no Roger Lalonde. I was just a lawyer."
In 1987, he was chosen to become part of the Manoir Exécutif legal counsel to presdent and premier Marie Boche.
Early political career (1991-2003)
In 1990, the Social Labor Party added Beaumont to the party-list on recommendation of Vice President Antoine Luce. Despite being ranked low on the list, Beaumont entered the Wing of Legislation in 1991 as part of a massive electoral landslide.
Soon after taking his seat, Beaumont formed a friendship with senior legislator Pierre Blanchet, who would go on to become president in 1996. The two were on the Justice Consultation Committee. In 1994, following the retirement of Sébastien Attal, Beaumont was elevated to the Foreign Affairs Consultation Committee.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs (2001-2003)
On 1 January 2001, at the start of Pierre Blanchet's second term as president and premier, Beaumont became the Fravina Secretary of Foreign Affairs. His inaugural international trip as secretary marked his return to Seylos, accompanied by Secretary of Trade Alain de Mercy, to meet King Stuart Redmond.
As Foreign Affairs Secretary, Beaumont worked to strengthen ties with Delamaria, increase East Argic cooperation, and continue Fravi policy of global non-allignment.
Vice Presidency (2003-2008)
Blanchet Government (2003-2006)
After his rise to the vice presidency, Beaumont was considered a key power broker in Fravi politics. While an ally of Blanchet's reforms, Beaumont was considered to be on the left of the president but more pragmatic than the left flank of the party. A strong believer in democracy, Beaumont was the spokesperson for the democratization of the council system, opening up elections to the full membership of local chapters of the relevant government and workers' institutions.
Garnier Government (2006-2008)
In contrast to the more democratically open government Blanchet and Beaumont promoted, President Jean-Michel Garnier was a strict opponent of these reforms. However, Garnier let Beaumont keep his vice president and foreign affairs positions as an olive branch to the liberal wing of the party.
In April 2008, Garnier reshuffled his Grand Committee, sacking Vice President Jean Martin and sacking Beaumont from his role as Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The new committee was filled with Garnier loyalists and ideologues. Beaumont resigned from the vice presidency on 8 May 2008. In his resignation letter, he implored members of the People's Council, Worker's Coalition, and the Social Labour Party to remove Garnier from power, viewing him as a continued threat to Fravi socialism, equality, and democracy.
