Philippe Grattery, born April, 3rd in Châlons-sur-Seine, is a voiseyian politician. He was deputy of the 5th constituency of the Marne between 1995 and 2015 then regional advisor for Champagne-Ardenne from 2015 to 2020.
Early Life, Education, and Family
Both his parents are from the Marne. He lived a peaceful childhood, fascinated by foreign cultures and the history of the formation of countries. He also quickly became interested in the functioning of other countries and their development. When he was 14, he discovered Buriname and Ostra, two other economic giants, which had not yet awakened at that time. At the age of 21, he obtained a BAC+3 in History. He continued his studies on the cultures of Primeria and was particularly interested in the countries of Buriname, Ostra and Upland. He finished his studies at the age of 28. He then started to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1995, after problems in the ministry, notably due to the growing tensions between the ex-members of the Red Army and Voisey, Philippe left his job and ran as a deputy for the 5th constituency of the Marne. He won the election with 63% of the votes in the second round. During his mandate, he is known as a man who is very attached to the respect of other countries, especially those of the "bloc" (Buriname, Ostra, Upland and Matamoros). In 2000, he did not wish to renew his candidacy as a deputy. The following year, he decided to return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was offered the position of Ambassador of Buriname, which he accepted and took up his post in February 2001. He will remain in office until 2019. He was thus recognised by the government and managed to preserve relations between Voisey and Buriname. In 2020, he was invited by Daniel Marangé, the new president, to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs.
