French politician (born 1961)
Yves Jégo (; born 17 April 1961) is a French former politician. He was "député" for the third constituency of Seine-et-Marne in the National Assembly from 2002 to 2018, Mayor of Montereau-Fault-Yonne since 1995, and president of the Communauté de communes des Deux Fleuves.
He was the general delegate of the Union of Democrats and Independents, from the party's creation in October 2012. He was also vice president of the Radical Party. Jégo was the spokesman for the Union for a Popular Movement, when that party was ruling. He is also founder and president of a local party Mieux Vivre Ensemble (MVE), formerly known as Mouvement des Seine-et-Marnais (MdSM). 
Jégo was appointed Secretary of State for Overseas in the government of François Fillon on 18 March 2008. He was therefore the Minister in charge of French Oversea territories during the 2009 French Caribbean protests and general strikes against high living costs and particularly the costs of food and fuel. As he undertook the dismantling of monopolies, his role was the subject of controversy. He was replaced by Marie-Luce Penchard on 23 June 2009 and was not given another portfolio.
He announced in June 2018 that he would retire from politics and as a deputy in mid-July 2018. As of early 2023, he is the executive director (Délégué Général) of the Avec financial group, which is under investigation for alleged illegal asset stripping. 
Political career.
Governmental functions
Secretary of State for Overseas: 2008–2009.
Electoral mandates
While most members of the French parliament are also mayors or general (department) or regional councillor, Jégo is one of the few to cumulate three elected offices.
1. National Assembly of France
2. Municipal Council
3. Community of communes Council
Regional Council
Accumulation of electoral mandates
According to French law against accumulation of electoral mandates, Jégo should have resigned from one of the three first mandates in this list before 21 April 2010. But giving as a pretext a legal complaint from the Front National's candidates, he still held the three of them, plus his local mandate of president of the « communauté de communes des deux fleuves » (CC2F) until his resignation from the Regional Council in July 2011.
In September 2011, Yves Jégo failed to become a member of the Senate of France.
In June 2012, he was re elected as a member of the National Assembly.

Legal issues.
An active blogger himself, Jégo sued two blogs for defamation and insult. In 2007, he sued Frédéric Maupin and Jean-Luc Pujo for calling him a "liar" and "manipulator" during the 2007 legislative campaign. His suit was dismissed in November 2007, and his subsequent appeal in July 2009 by the Paris appeal court.
In 2008, he similarly sued a local opponent, Yves Poey, for calling him an "apparatchik" and a "schemer" during the local elections campaign. Jégo won ) in March 2008 for "schemer", but Poey later won his appeal in May 2010.
