Editing July Monarchy (section)

=== A permanent disorder ===
Civil unrest continued for three months, supported by the [[French Left|left-wing press]]. {{lang|fr|Louis-Philippe|italic=no}}'s government was not able to put an end to it, mostly because the [[National Guard (France)|National Guard]] was headed by one of the Republican leaders, the [[Marquis de La Fayette]], who advocated a "popular throne surrounded by Republican institutions". The Republicans then gathered themselves in popular clubs, in the tradition established by the [[1789 Revolution]]. Some of those were fronts for [[secret societies]] (for example, the [[Blanquist]] {{ill|Société des Amis du Peuple|fr|Société des Amis du Peuple}}), which sought political and social reforms, or the execution of Charles X's ministers ({{lang|fr|[[Jules de Polignac]]|italic=no}}, {{lang|fr|[[Jean de Chantelauze]]|italic=no}}, the {{lang|fr|[[Count de Peyronnet]]|italic=no}} and the {{lang|fr|[[Martial de Guernon-Ranville]]|italic=no}}). Strikes and demonstrations were permanent.<ref>{{cite book |author=Ronald Aminzade |title=Ballots and barricades: class formation and republican politics in France, 1830–1871 |date=1993 }}</ref>

In order to stabilize the economy and finally secure public order, in the autumn of 1830 the government had the Assembly vote a credit of 5 million francs to subsidize public works, mostly roads. Then, to prevent bankruptcies and the increase of unemployment, especially in Paris, the government issued a guarantee for firms encountering difficulties, granting them 60&nbsp;million francs. These subsidies mainly went into the pockets of big entrepreneurs aligned with the new regime, such as the printer {{lang|fr|[[Firmin Didot]]|italic=no}}.

The death of the [[Louis Henry II, Prince of Condé|Prince of {{lang|fr|Condé|italic=no|nocat=y}}]] on 27 August 1830, who was found hanged, caused the first scandal of the July Monarchy. Without proof, the Legitimists quickly accused {{lang|fr|Louis-Philippe|italic=no}} and the Queen {{lang|fr|[[Maria Amalia of the Two Sicilies|Marie-Amélie]]|italic=no}} of having assassinated the [[ultra-royalist]] Prince, with the alleged motive of allowing their son, the [[Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale|Duke of Aumale]], to get his hands on his fortune. It is however commonly accepted{{weasel word|date=January 2025}} that the Prince died as a result of sex games with his mistress, the [[baroness de Feuchères|Baroness {{lang|fr|de Feuchères|italic=no|nocat=y}}]].{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}
