Albert Gau
Albert Gau (born July 10, 1910 in Conques-sur-Orbiel , Département Aude , † May 14, 1993 in Bram ) was a French politician. From 1945 to 1955 he was a member of the National Assembly .
As a young man in the south of France, Gau took part in the Resistance against the Vichy regime . For his services he was later honored by the State of Israel as Righteous Among the Nations . Professionally, Gau first worked as a journalist and was heavily involved in church work.
After the end of the war he decided to go into politics, where he belonged to the Mouvement républicain populaire , in accordance with his Christian convictions . For this he made it into the constituent national assembly in October 1945, as a member of which he was re-elected in June 1946. He was also confirmed in the first regular parliamentary elections in October 1946. In 1951 he ran again for election, but had to rely on the support of the SFIO and the PRS to beat the Gaullist candidate. In the subsequent elections in January 1956, a further extension of his mandate failed. After that, the Gau, who died in 1993, did not apply again for a seat in parliament.
