Antoine Pinay (30 December 1891, Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise, Rhône, France - 13 December 1994) was a French conservative politician. He served as Prime Minister of France in 1952.

Life

As a young man, Pinay fought in World War I and injured his arm so that it was paralyzed for the rest of his life.

After the war, he managed a small business and in 1929 he was elected mayor of Saint-Chamond (Loire). [ [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0DE6DD1638F937A25751C1A962958260 The New York Times] 14 December 1994]

He was elected to the French National Assembly in 1936, running as a conservative. On 10 July 1940 he voted to give full constitutional power to the Maréchal Philippe Pétain, leading to the creation of the Vichy Regime.In 1941, Antoine Pinay was appointed to the "Conseil National" of the Vichy Regime. He was also awarded the Francisque.

In 1944 he was first placed on house arrest, and stripped of his right to be candidate to an election on 5 September 1945. After the intervention of René Cassin, the vice-president of the Conseil d'État, who pointed his fierce opposition to the German occupation, his citizen rights were restored on 5 October 1945. On 2 June 1946 he could successfully ran for election to the Assemblée Constituante as a moderate candidate.

He helped create a conservative party, the National Center of Independents and Peasants (CNIP). He acquired the reputation as one of France's more spirited politicians and in 1952 became Prime Minister in 1952 by virtue of being the most popular elected CNIP official. His ministry was seen as the return of the "classical right", discredited since the Liberation. He stabilized the finances of the French nation and the French currency.

In 1955, he was one of the participants of the Messina Conference, which would lead to the Treaty of Rome in 1957.

During the May 1958 crisis precipitated by the Algerian war, he supported De Gaulle's return to power and approved of the Fifth Republic's constitution. He served as Finance Minister until 1960. In 1973, he was made "Médiateur de la République" (Ombudsman) by President Georges Pompidou. [ [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,906877,00.html TIME Magazine] , Feb. 19, 1973.]
