Career
Marquet was born in Bordeaux and became its socialist mayor in 1925. In 1933, he was expelled from the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO).[1] The expulsion involved an address to the SFIO in which he emphasized order and authority as necessary to win the masses; his position frightened Léon Blum.[2] He and Marcel Déat then formed the Neosocialists. Later, he declared the faction to be decidedly anti-Marxist.[3] He eventually abandoned any form of socialism and briefly served as Minister of the Interior for Philippe Pétain.[4] Later, like Déat, he became a supporter of Pierre Laval.
