10 Joly, Eva
Of Franco-Norwegian origin, Eva Joly was one of France's high profile investigating magistrates before becoming better known as a militant environmental campaigner. In 2011, she was selected to run as the candidate of Europe-Ecologie-les Verts, the French Green party, in the 2012 presidential election. Forthright and outspoken in a manner uncommon in the world of French politics, she caused major stirs in the early days of campaigning, but lost a lot of support as a result, even from supposed allies in the environmental movement.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
