Biography
Wife of Hubert Bassot, UDF deputy between 1978 and 1981, who regained the 3rd constituency of Orne in 1993, she succeeded him in a by-election in 1996 after his death and the removal from office of his deputy Jean-Luc Gouyon, being elected against François Doubin.[5]
She also succeeds him on the general council for the canton of Tinchebray, with 63.86% of the votes in the first round.
Re-elected as a deputy in 1997, 2002, and 2007, she is a member of the Union for a Popular Movement group. An investigation by L'Expansion reveals that she is the least present and least active deputy in the National Assembly.[6] She did not run for re-election in 2012 and failed to get her protégé, Jérôme Nury, to succeed her.[7]
Sylvia Bassot died on January 3, 2014, in Paris after a long illness. She is buried in the cemetery of the commune of Tinchebray, where her funeral took place on January 9, 2014.
