Adrien Marquet (; 6 October 18843 February 1955) was a Socialism mayor of Bordeaux who turned to the far right.
Career
Marquet was born in
Bordeaux and became its socialist mayor in 1925. In 1933, he was expelled from the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO).
[ Choice and democratic order By Bruce Desmond Graham, pgs 60-61] The expulsion involved an address to the SFIO in which he emphasized order and authority as necessary to win the masses; his position frightened Léon Blum.
[ Léon Blum by Joel Colton, pg 86] He and Marcel Déat then formed the
Neosocialism. Later, he declared the faction to be decidedly anti-
Marxism.
[[3] Neither right nor left by Zeev Sternhell, David Maisel, pg 170] He eventually abandoned any form of socialism and briefly served as Minister of the Interior for Philippe Pétain.
[ From the other shore By André Liebich, pg 270] Later, like Déat, he became a supporter of
Pierre Laval.
