EspañolALAIN SAVARY
'Alain Savary' (April 25, 1918 - February 2, 1988) was a French Socialist politician, deputy during the Fourth and Fifth Republic, chairman of the Socialist Party (PS) and who held ministerial functions in the 1950s and in 1981, when he was nominated by President François Mitterrand as Minister of National Education.
In 1940, as soon as France was occupied by the German army, he enlisted in the Resistance. He organized the rallying of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon to the Free French Forces and became its governor. After the war, he participated to the restoring of the Republican State.
Member of the socialist party SFIO, he was deputy for Saint Pierre et Miquelon through-out most of the Fourth Republic, from 1944 to 1946 and from 1951 to 1958. In 1956, he was nominated Secretary of State to the Foreign Affairs in Guy Mollet's cabinet, but resigned due to his opposition to the repressive policy of Mollet in Algerian War (1954-62) and to the arrest of Ahmed Ben Bella. He left the SFIO in 1958, because of the support of the party to De Gaulle's come back and to the new Constitution elaborating a presidential regime (the Fifth Republic).
With Pierre Mendès-France, he founded the Autonomous Socialist Party (''Parti socialiste autonome'' or PSA) which became, in 1960, the Unified Socialist Party (''Parti socialiste unifié'' or PSU). However, he left it in 1967 and created the Union of clubs for the renewal of the left, which merged in the Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left (FGDS) which supported left-wing candidate François Mitterrand at the 1965 presidential election. Then, he returned in the "old socialist house" when it was replaced by the Socialist Party (''Parti socialiste'' or PS).
Reconciled with Guy Mollet, he succeeded him to the lead of the party in 1969. He promised to begin an "ideological dialogue" with the French Communist Party (PCF). Yet, two years later, he was overthrown by François Mitterrand during the Epinay Congress, who proposed an alliance with the Communists based on a ''Common Program''.
Deputy for Haute Garonne in 1973, then Minister of National Education in 1981, he resigned three years later, after the failure of his project to limit the financing of the private schools.
