Albert Bedouce

Albert Bedouce (8 January 1869, Toulouse – 4 August 1947, Paris) was a French politician.

He joined at first the French Workers' Party (POF), which in 1902 merged into the Socialist Party of France (PSdF), which in turn merged into the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) in 1905.

On 10 July 1940, he voted in favour of granting the Cabinet presided by Marshal Philippe Pétain authority to draw up a new constitution, thereby effectively ending the French Third Republic and establishing Vichy France.

In 1945, with his associate Émile Berlia, he joined the newly founded Democratic Socialist Party (PSD).
