Live and act
Pierre, the son of a teacher couple, was already interested in politics while attending school in Rouen and was influenced by the Blanquist Edmond Bazire . During his subsequent training as a veterinarian in Alfort , he became an admirer of Jaurès ; admires his publications on the Dreyfus affair . From December 1899, Pierre Renaudel became a Jaurès supporter in the predecessor parties of the socialist party SFIO . In 1905 he joined the left wing of the latter party. From 1907 Pierre Renaudel worked his way up to Jean Jaurès in L'Humanité . After the murder of the war opponent Jean Jaurès by the French nationalist Raoul Villain on the eve of the war , Pierre Renaudel took over the management of the paper and remained editor-in-chief until the end of the war.
Pierre Renaudel worked for the International after the war . At the conference of socialist and social democratic parties in Bern in early February 1919, he and Kurt Eisner signed a resolution in favor of prisoners of war. Participants from 21 countries want to build on the Second International .
At the end of 1920 at the SFIO congress in Tours , Pierre Renaudel and Léon Blum voted against French joining the 3rd International and founded the Groupe de la vie socialiste (group of socialist life), which Marcel Déat also joined .
From 1914 to 1919 and from 1924 until his death, Pierre Renaudel was elected to the French Chamber of Deputies as a member of the Socialists in the Var department . During the legislative periods of 1924, 1928 and 1932 he was on the board of commissions dealing with the areas of armament, finance, aviation, administration and voting rights. In particular, he prepared draft laws for the reorganization of the armed forces, but also dealt with women's suffrage and the abolition of the death penalty in 1927, with arms control in 1929 and repeatedly with colonial and foreign policy.
In November 1933, Pierre Renaudel split off from the SFIO and founded the radical neo-socialist Parti socialiste de France-Union Jean Jaurès (PSdF) , among others with the above-mentioned Marcel Déat and Adrien Marquet . Under the motto “Ordre, autorité et nation” (order, authority and nation), these right-wing socialists want to get closer to the bourgeois parties, especially the supporters from the middle class. Pierre Renaudel falls out with the party leadership and leaves the board. He wanted to cure himself seriously ill in the Balearic Islands at the end of 1934 and died there a few months later.
