Danièle Hoffman-Rispal — French Socialist politician (1951–2020)

Role in the National Assembly

As a parlementaire, Hoffman-Rispal participated in the legislative process typical for deputies: proposing and examining laws, debating policy, and representing constituents' interests at the national level. Deputies from Paris often combine local concerns with broader urban and national issues, and serving two consecutive terms indicates sustained electoral support and an extended period of engagement with parliamentary business.

Political outlook and priorities

Hoffman-Rispal belonged to the Socialist Party (Socialist Party), a major left-of-centre political formation in France. Members of this party during her service years frequently focused on social justice, public services, housing, health and employment. While individual deputies bring personal priorities to their work, affiliation with the Socialist Party situates her within those wider policy concerns.

Career highlights and public presence

Her tenure covered two legislative terms, a period during which she would have been involved in committee work, constituency representation and the public debates of the time. Public records and contemporary reports recall her as an active figure in Parisian political life. Colleagues and local media noted her contributions to parliamentary debates and to the political life of her constituency.

Death and legacy

Danièle Hoffman-Rispal died in Paris in mid-April 2020 at the age of 68; sources reported the date as either late 15 April or early 16 April 2020. Her passing was marked by remembrances from political associates and by notices that recalled her decade of service in the National Assembly. Her career is part of the broader story of women’s participation in French national politics in the early 21st century.

Context and further reading

For readers unfamiliar with French institutions, the National Assembly is the lower house of the French Parliament and plays a central role in lawmaking and government oversight. Hoffman-Rispal’s membership in that body places her among the national deputies who shape legislation and public debate.
