French Leaders Political Leaders Revolutionaries Prime Ministers Libra Celebrities Georges-Augustin Bidault was a French politician who served as the Prime Minister of France twice. He also served as the foreign minister of France thrice in different governments. He was a leader in the French Resistance during the World War II. He was the face of the resistance when Charles de Gaulle became the president of France after it was liberated from the Germans. After becoming the head of the provisional government he passed important laws related to the compensation packages and pensions for workmen. He initially supported the policies of de Gaulle in governing France but was opposed to the idea of France losing all its colonies. During the later part of his political career, he founded far-right movements which resorted to terrorist activities to prevent the French colonies from gaining independence. He protested against the Algerian policy followed by Charles De Gaulle and had to retire from politics because of this opposition. Though he was awarded two of France’s highest honors, his accomplishments were overshadowed by accusations of conspiracy against the state which forced him to flee France. He could return from exile only after being granted amnesty.
