Who is Jacques Myard?

Jacques Myard is a member of the National Assembly of France. He represents the Yvelines department, and is a member of the Union for a Popular Movement.

Myard made international news when on July 17, 2012, just days before the vote on a new national sexual harassment bill, male lawmakers in the National Assembly including Myard hooted and made catcalls as Housing Minister Cécile Duflot, wearing a floral dress, spoke about an architecture project. Myard told L'Express that the hoots were a way of "paying homage to this woman's beauty."
