Transcription
00:00 this president was forced to resign.
00:02 I tell you the story of Alexander Milorand, the 12th president of the French Republic.
00:06 Alexander Milorand becomes president in September 1920 after the resignation of Paul Deschanel.
00:11 Very leftist at the beginning of his career, Milorand is totally marked on the right during his election.
00:15 Alexander Milorand wants to reform the state.
00:17 He wants to pursue social reforms, defends women's rights,
00:20 and is for a policy of association with the colonies,
00:22 and wants to make Germany pay for the First World War.
00:25 He wants the president to obtain a much more important power.
00:28 While it is basically the role of presidents of the Third Republic.
00:31 He gives his opinion on certain texts and political subjects.
00:34 Milorand puts pressure on his ministers and accumulates disagreements.
00:37 He continues the ministerial crises with his council presidents,
00:40 like Georges Legge, Aristide Briand or Raymond Poincaré.
00:43 He tries to revise the constitution.
00:44 During the Evreux speech in October 1923,
00:47 Milorand is no longer neutral and announces that he wants to reduce the role of the parliament.
00:51 It's the beginning of the end.
00:52 The legislative elections are coming and he totally loses his majority.
00:55 He has to resign in June 1924 under the pressure of the opposition, the left-wing cartel.
01:00 He would have been in power for less than 4 years.
01:02 But this is not the end of his political career for him,
01:04 because he remains a senator until the end of the Third Republic in 1940.
