Ferdinand Barrot
Ferdinand Victorin Barrot (born January 10, 1806 in Paris ; † November 12, 1883 ibid), son of Jean-André Barrot and brother of Odilon and Adophe Barrot , was a French lawyer and politician. As a supporter of Louis Napoléon Bonaparte , he was among other things French interior minister from 1849 to 1850.
Barrot studied law and set up as a lawyer. During the July monarchy , he defended Colonel Vaudrey, who was involved in an attempted coup by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte in Strasbourg in October 1836 , the republican Armand Barbès in 1839 and finally Napoléon himself in 1840 after another coup attempt in Boulogne-sur-Mer .
On July 9, 1842, Barrot was elected to the Chamber of Deputies and took a seat in the center of the left. During his time in Parliament until 1848 he took care of Algerian affairs and was able to obtain large territorial concessions from Algeria. On June 18, 1848 he was appointed to succeed Alexandre Ledru-Rollins as representative of Algeria in the National Assembly. Initially unsuccessful in the elections of May 23, 1849, Barrot was able to obtain a seat in the legislative assembly in the by-elections in the Seine department , where he usually voted with the right.
Napoleon III appointed him after taking power in 1849 as Secretary General and on October 31, 1850 as Minister of the Interior. After Jules Baroche took over his ministerial office on March 15, 1850 , Barrot was sent to Turin as ambassador . After the coup d'état of December 2, 1851 , he was admitted to the Conseil d'État and to the Senate on March 4, 1853 . After the end of the Second Empire , Barrot did not take part in the political life of France until he ran unsuccessfully on May 16, 1877 with Marshal Mac-Mahon's support for the election of the National Assembly. On December 4, 1877, he won a permanent seat in the Senate.
Barrot was named Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor on August 12, 1857 .
