Antoine Pinay ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}; 30 December 1891 – 13 December 1994)<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Antoine Pinay: Family tree by Marie Granger-Thomas - Geneanet Template:Webarchive. Gw.geneanet.org. Retrieved on 13 February 2018.</ref> was a French conservative politician who served as Prime Minister of France from 1952 to 1953 and French Foreign Minister from 1955 to 1956.

LifeEdit

Antoine Pinay was born on 30 December 1891 in Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise. He was a child of Claude Pinay (5 July 1852 – 4 March 1919), and his wife, Marie Antoinette Besson (10 October 1861 – 23 November 1936).

On 25 April 1917, Pinay married Marguerite Fouletier (3 June 1895 – 3 December 1970)<ref>Marguerite Marie Fouletier: Family tree by wikifrat – Geneanet Template:Webarchive. Gw.geneanet.org. Retrieved on 13 February 2018.</ref> and had two daughters and one son, Geneviève (1918–2017), Odette (1920–2015), and Pierre (1922–1964).

As a young man, Pinay fought in World War I and injured his arm so that it was paralyzed for the rest of his life.

After the war, he managed a small business and in 1929 he was elected mayor of Saint-Chamond, Loire.<ref>Saxon, Wolfgang (14 December 1994) Antoine Pinay Is Dead at 102; Aided French Postwar Recovery Template:Webarchive. The New York Times.</ref>

He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1936, running as an independent candidate opposed to the Popular Front. In 1938 he was elected to the Senate, where he joined the Independent Radicals. On 10 July 1940 he voted to give the Cabinet presided over by Marshal Philippe Pétain authority to draw up a new constitution, effectively ending the French Third Republic and establishing Vichy France. In 1941, Antoine Pinay was appointed to the Conseil National of the Vichy regime. He was also awarded the Order of the Francisque.<ref>Antoine Pinay, ou l'empreinte d'un mythe Template:Webarchive L'Humanité, 14 December 1994</ref> During the occupation, Antoine Pinay remained mayor of Saint-Chamond, although he had been urged by General Georges to move to Algiers, in order to better protect the residents of this city. Pinay resigned from the Conseil National within a few months and refused any official position with the Vichy regime, such as the préfecture de l'Hérault offered by Laval. He also gave several hundreds of identity papers to help Jews and members of the Resistance flee from France to Algiers or Switzerland. An official commission in 1946 recognized his long lasting opposition to the Nazis and the help he gave to the Resistance and released him without charge.

In 1944, he was first placed on house arrest, and stripped of his right to be candidate to an election on 5 September 1945. After the intervention of René Cassin, the vice-president of the Conseil d'État, who pointed to his fierce opposition to the German occupation, his citizen rights were restored on 5 October 1945. On 2 June 1946, he could successfully run for election to the Assemblée Constituante as a moderate candidate.<ref>Biography on the Assemblée Nationale Web site Template:Webarchive (it covers only Pinay's carrier from 1936 to 1958)</ref>

He helped create a conservative party, the National Center of Independents and Peasants (CNIP). He acquired the reputation as one of France's more spirited politicians and in 1952 became prime minister by virtue of being the most popular elected CNIP official. His ministry was seen as the return of the "classical right", discredited since the Liberation. He stabilized the finances of the French nation and the French currency.

In 1952/53 he was one of the founders of Le Cercle Pinay, a secret invitation-only foreign policy forum for conservatives. In 1955, he was one of the participants of the Messina Conference, which would lead to the Treaty of Rome in 1957.

During the May 1958 crisis precipitated by the Algerian war, he supported Charles de Gaulle's return to power and approved of the Fifth Republic's constitution. He served as finance minister until 1960. In 1973, he was made médiateur de la République (ombudsman) by President Georges Pompidou.<ref>"The World: The Non-Ombudsman". Time. 19 February 1973.</ref>

Having died aged Template:Age in years and days, he is the third longest lived national state leader in history, behind only Chau Sen Cocsal Chhum and Celâl Bayar. He died 17 days before his 103rd birthday, and was buried in Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise.<ref>PINAY Antoine (1891–1994) – Cimetières de France et d'ailleurs Template:Webarchive. Landrucimetieres.fr. Retrieved on 13 February 2018.</ref> From 14 December 1990, when former Republic of China Premier Zhang Qun died until his own death, Pinay was the world's oldest living former head of government.
