Life

Paul Séverin Abbatucci was the third son of Jacques Pierre Charles Abbatucci . Of his two older brothers, Jean Charles became State Councilor in 1857 and Antoine Dominique became Brigadier General in 1868 . He entered political life at the age of 30 and was elected to the legislature as a Bonapartist representative of Corsica during the Second Empire in 1852, 1857, 1863 and 1869 . As such, he always voted for all of Emperor Napoleon III. and its ministers took government decisions and made no remarkable speeches. Together with his compatriot Gavini, in 1867 he demanded that the Corsicans be granted the right to carry weapons.

After the armistice concluded between Otto von Bismarck and Jules Favre during the Franco-Prussian War at the end of January 1871 , Abbatucci was elected a member of the National Assembly on February 8, 1871 . He was one of five Bonapartists who had their seat in Bordeaux , where he voted for peace. Because of his inclination for Napoleon III. he submitted his resignation on August 17, 1871 in Versailles to make way for the staunch Bonapartist Eugène Rouher , who was actually elected Deputy of Corsica in January 1872 instead of Abbatucci. Abbatucci withdrew completely from political life and died in 1888 at the age of 67.
