Le Rappel (French for "the Recall") was a French daily newspaper founded in 1869 by Victor Hugo's sons. It was published from the end of the French Second Empire until 1933.[1] At the start of the Third Republic, it embodied a radical-republican tendency and as such was highly contested by the French government.[2]
Publication history
The newspaper, which benefited from the law of 11 May 1868 on freedom of press, was founded on the initiative of Victor Hugo on the eve of the general elections of 1868.[3] Le Rappel was started, with Charles and François-Victor Hugo, Auguste Vacquerie, and Paul Meurice as its principal contributors.[2]
Impact and influence
Le Rappel quickly became one of the major organs of early radicalism, famously fighting Napoleon III empire but also denouncing crimes happening around Europe at the time. On 29 August 1876, Victor Hugo denounced the massacre of Serbs by the Ottoman Empire in a long editorial called Pour la Serbie, protesting against the impassivity of European governments.[4] On 27 April 1881, after Jews were slaughtered and driven out of the city of Yelisavetgrad in Russia, Victor Hugo used Le Rappel to denounce the pogrom and to express fury at the massacre.[5]
