Life
Before Dupuy first became Prime Minister of the Third French Republic from April 24, 1893 to November 25, 1893 and almost simultaneously Minister of the Interior (April 4, 1893 to December 3, 1893), he was in the cabinet of his premier predecessor Ribot from December 6, 1892 to April 20, 1893 Minister of Education. After his first term as Prime Minister, Dupuy was then President of the Chamber of Deputies , the Chambre des députés , from December 5, 1893 to June 2, 1894 , where he barely escaped a bomb attack by the anarchist Auguste Vaillant in mid-December 1893 and the session continued casually started with “The debate will continue, gentlemen”.
A second time Dupuy was then from May 30, 1894 to January 14, 1895 Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of France (May 30, 1894 to January 26, 1895). During this time the Dreyfus affair took its course.
Charles-Alexandre Dupuy had a third term as Prime Minister from October 31, 1898 to June 12, 1899, while at the same time he again held the office of Minister of the Interior (November 1, 1898 to June 22, 1899). After that, Dupuy was Senator for the Haute-Loire region until his death in 1923 .
