L'Intransigeant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
L'Intransigeant was a French newspaper, founded in July 1880 by Henri Rochefort. Initially representing the left-wing opposition, it developed towards the right during the Boulangism affair (Rochefort supported Boulange) and became a major right-wing newspaper by 1920s. The newspaper was vehemently anti-Dreyfusard, reflecting Rochefort's positions. In 1906 under the direction of Léon Bailby it reaches a circulation of 400,000 copies. It ceased publication after the French surrender in 1940. After the war it was shortly republished in 1947 under the name "L'Intransigeant-Journal de Paris", before merging with Paris-Presse.
