F\u00e9lix Faure devient pr\u00e9sident de la IIIe R\u00e9publique le 17 janvier 1895, apr\u00e8s la d\u00e9mission surprise de Jean Casimir-Perier, qui avait pris la suite de Sadi Carnot . Son mandat est quelque peu houleux, secou\u00e9 notamment par l’affaire Dreyfus<\/a> et la mont\u00e9e de l’antis\u00e9mitisme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 16 f\u00e9vrier 1899,le pr\u00e9sident Faure, alors \u00e2g\u00e9 de 58 ans, meurt brutalement \u00e0 l’\u00c9lys\u00e9e, officiellement d’une congestion c\u00e9r\u00e9brale (aujourd’hui appel\u00e9e accident vasculaire c\u00e9r\u00e9bral ou AVC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un fait attire tout de suite l’attention, notamment de la presse. F\u00e9lix Faure n’\u00e9tait pas seul au moment de sa mort: il \u00e9tait en compagnie de sa ma\u00eetresse. Une certaine Marguerite \u00abMeg\u00bb Steinheil, alors \u00e9pouse d’un peintre appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 des milieux officiels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C’est ici que la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 historique laisse place au mythe: une rumeur en particulier prend vite de l’ampleur, relay\u00e9e par la presse et les mots d’esprit. F\u00e9lix Faure serait mort d’un AVC, qui aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 cons\u00e9cutif \u00e0 une \u00abg\u00e2terie\u00bb fatale prodigu\u00e9e par sa jeune ma\u00eetresse. Un malaise \u00e0 un moment peu opportun, qui aurait potentiellement \u00e9t\u00e9 aggrav\u00e9 par des drag\u00e9es Yse, des excitants alors en vogue \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque et \u00e0 base de phosphure de zinc, mais aujourd’hui reconnus comme dangereux pour la sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La rumeur se propage alors rapidement et Madame Steinheil est surnomm\u00e9e “la pompe fun\u00e8bre” …quelle \u00e9l\u00e9gance !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georges Cl\u00e9menceau , rival politique, exploite la situation en lachant “Il a voulu vivre en C\u00e9sar, il est mort en Pomp\u00e9”, exploitant les gouts de luxe et de la fete de F\u00e9lix faure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au-del\u00e0 des fantasmes, la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 est plus simple. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00e9lix Faure est bien mort d’une congestion c\u00e9r\u00e9brale, qui ne l’a pas tu\u00e9 sur le coup, mais quelques heures apr\u00e8s, sans qu’aucune preuve n’atteste d’un quelconque lien avec un acte sexuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’imagination populaire aura tout de m\u00eame permis \u00e0 F\u00e9lix Faure d’\u00eatre l’un des pr\u00e9sidents les plus connus de la IIIe R\u00e9publique, mais pas pour son action politique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pendant les quatre ann\u00e9es de sa pr\u00e9sidence, nous lui devons :<\/strong>
\u2014 La loi sur les accidents du travail. Toujours en vigueur, c’est la premi\u00e8re de toutes les lois sociales concernant les salari\u00e9s.
\u2014 La mise en chantier des croiseurs l\u00e9gers rapides et la g\u00e9n\u00e9ralisation
du canon de 75. Ces deux d\u00e9cisions, prises contre l’avis des techniciens,eurent des cons\u00e9quences d\u00e9cisives en 1914.
\u2014 La r\u00e9solution heureuse de la crise internationale due \u00e0 l’incident de Fachoda, qui nous avait mis au bord d’une guerre avec l’Angleterre.
\u2014 L’apaisement de l’affaire Dreyfus au m o m e n t o\u00f9 elle d\u00e9bouchait surla guerre civile.
\u2014 La transformation de l’amiti\u00e9 franco-russe en alliance militaire.
\u2014 La mise sur pied d’un protocole fastueux qui porta la R\u00e9publique sur le m\u00eam e plan de repr\u00e9sentativit\u00e9 que les autres nations d’une Europe enti\u00e8rement monarchique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


D e tous les pr\u00e9sidents de la IIIe R\u00e9publique, aucun ne prit des mesures l\u00e9gislatives et diplomatiques d’une telle ampleur ; loin d’\u00eatre le h\u00e9ros du vaudeville scabreux que les \u00e9crivassiers pr\u00e9tentieux s’obstinent \u00e0 nous rab\u00e2cher, F\u00e9lix Faure, le Pr\u00e9sident Soleil, est certainement l’un de nos plus grands hommes d’Etat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Il ne reste de lui qu’une l\u00e9gende \u00e9c\u0153urante ; elle rejette dans l’oubli une \u0153uvre dont les effets nous sont encore perceptibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
