Everything about Marcel Bucard totally explained
Marcel Bucard (
December 7 1895,
Saint-Clair-sur-Epte –
March 13 1946, Fort of
Châtillon) was a
French Fascist politician.
A soldier in
World War I, Bucard became active in politics after
1918, initially as a member of
Action Française (an
Integralist royalist far right group) and then as a member of the overtly fascist and
antisemitic Faisceau of
Georges Valois.
In September
1933, Bucard founded his own group, the
Mouvement Franciste - arguably the most extreme group of the time, and one financed by
Benito Mussolini's government. On
February 6 1934, the
francistes joined the other right-wing parties in the riots in front of the
Palais Bourbon (a protest provoked by the
Stavisky Affair, and possibly intended as a
coup d'état). Subsequently, the
Popular Front government banned his movement (as well as other Fascist ones) upon its emergence in
1936; Bucard was imprisoned briefly. His attempt to recreate the movement as a Party (
Parti Franciste) in 1938 was without lasting success, as it too was outlawed.
After the
Fall of France in
World War II, and the start of the
Nazi German Occupation and
Vichy France, Bucard's
Parti was again active (from
1941), this time as a
collaborationist force. His role in the period was however limited, as he was usually absent due to suffering caused by old wounds; nonetheless, he was the co-founder of the
Légion des volontaires français contre le bolchevisme.
In 1946, after the German defeat, Bucard was sentenced to death for
treason, and executed a month later.
