Didier Borotra (30 August 1937 – 21 August 2024) was a French politician who was a member of the Senate, representing the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department from 1992 to 2011. He was re-elected in 2001 and did not stand in 2011.
Borotra served alongside Auguste Cazalet (1983–2011), Louis Althapé (1992–2001), André Labbarère (2001–2006) and Annie Jarraud-Vergnolle (2006–2011).
He was a member of the Centrist Union group and the MoDem. At the end of his tenure, he served on the Senate Committee for Foreign Affairs, Defence and the Armed Forces.
In 2017, he was accused of having "wrongfully canceled more than 4,632 minutes" between January 2009 and June 2013, having caused a shortfall of around 120,000 euros to the city of Biarritz. He was sentenced on appeal to a fine of 30,000 euro.[1] His appeal was rejected by the Court of Cassation in 2018.[2]
Borotra died in Bayonne on 21 August 2024, at the age of 86.[3]
