"Le Figaro"
Le Figaro is a French daily newspaper founded in 1826 during the reign of Charles X. It is therefore the oldest daily newspaper in the French press still published. It was named after Figaro, the character of Beaumarchais, of which he highlights the reply:
“Without the freedom to blame, there is no flattering praise. "
On the eve of the Second World War, the newspaper again suffered censorship, as often in its history. Under the pen of Maurice Noël appears for the first time the expression of the “funny war”.
Le Figaro moved to Bordeaux in 1940 and then to Clermont-Ferrand. Le Figaro was published afterwards in Lyon, in the free zone, thanks to funding from the Vichy government to François Mauriac, until the German occupation of 1942. Following Pierre Brisson's editorials, Vichy's censorship, notably from the Ministry of Information, became more pressing.
Pierre Brisson decides under these conditions to stop the newspaper on November 11, 1942, the day after its suspension, and publishes an editorial whose publication is prevented except for subscribers:
“The imperative instructions that have just come to us no longer allow us to continue our task without offending our innermost feelings and without betraying the public's trust. It's about lying or quitting. Our choice is made. I thank the readers for their attachment, their understanding, the esteem they have for this diary made by kind-hearted people in difficult situations. I assure them that they will find Le Figaro on the first day, faithful to his duties and in accordance with his wishes. "
Le Figaro released and triumphant after the Liberation
At the Liberation Le Figaro reappears, with the support of Louis Aragon, in Paris with an editorial by François Mauriac on Charles de Gaulle (August 25, 1944). He is confronted with debates on the methods of purification.
It thus becomes the newspaper of the MRP in front of the communists and the socialists.
With the help of Maurice Noël, Pierre Brisson relaunched a literary weekly in April 1946. Published outside the daily newspaper, Le Littéraire (which became Le Figaro littéraire in 1947) was created in response to the French Communist Party's stranglehold on many cultural newspapers and to defend art theory for art in the face of ideological and political engagement of intellectuals. The weekly then defended writers critical of communism or defectors from the Eastern bloc (Arthur Koestler, Victor Kravtchenko). Le Littéraire or Le Figaro littéraire brought together different writers and intellectuals, such as Paul Claudel, Léon-Paul Fargue, Colette, Julien Green, Rousset, Rougemont, etc. He presents himself as a defender of the cultural values ​​of the French right.
Pierre Brisson brings Le Figaro back to the moderate liberalism of the classic right.
It was he who attracted Raymond Aron (2,300 articles supplied).
With the advent of the Fifth Republic, Pierre Brisson's hostility towards the RPF ceased and he rallied to De Gaulle.
Pierre Brisson died in 1964.
