Biography edit

Born in Béziers on 11 May 1951, Didier was the son of Hubert Mouly [fr], who was Mayor of Narbonne [fr] from 1971 to 1999, and the brother of lawyer and jurist Christian Mouly [fr].

Mouly ran in the 2014 municipal election in Narbonne as the head of the DVD list.[2] He earned 27.13% of votes in the first round and 45.19% of second-round votes,[3] enough to elect him Mayor of Narbonne.[4] He benefitted from the withdrawal of the Union for a Popular Movement-Union of Democrats and Independence list, which helped him to defeat outgoing Socialist Party Mayor Jacques Bascou.[5] However, Bascou filed an appeal for the annulment of the election,[6] which was rejected by the administrative court in Montpellier.[7] In his first term, Mouly promised to focus on the development of employment, security, video surveillance, and decrease taxes.[5] He also strengthened ties between Narbonne and Béziers, led by Robert Menard.[8][9][10]

Running for re-election in 2020,[11] Mouly led a right-wing list called "Nouveau Narbonne", which had been founded by his father.[12] He obtained 34.63% of votes in the first round, and 43.57% in the second round, enough for re-election.[13] He once again benefitted from divisions, this time a quadrangular divide on the left.[14][15] After the election, he declared his readiness to "work with all elected officials", particularly Ménard and Louis Aliot.[16] However, this was received with a negative reaction by President of the Regional Council of Occitania Carole Delga.[16] In May 2021, his campaign accounts were rejected by the administrative court.[17] He was elected President of Grand Narbonne on 15 July 2020.[18]

Didier Mouly died of cancer on 8 October 2023, at the age of 72.[19][20]
