César Campinchi

César Campinchi (May 4, 1882 in Calcatoggio, Corse-du-Sud – February 22, 1941 in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône) was a lawyer and French statesman in the beginning of the 20th century.

[1][2] Campinchi was president of the Association générale des étudiants de Paris student organisation, a member of the Radical Socialist Party and deputy for Corsica from 1932 to 1940.

In his history of The Second World War, Volume 1, The Gathering Storm, Winston Churchill says on page 449: ”I formed a high opinion of this man (Campinchi).

This tough Corsican never flinched or failed.” He married Hélène, who was the daughter of Adolphe Landry and also a lawyer.

Given her brief by François de Menthon, Hélène chaired the commission which oversaw the drafting of the 2 February 1945 relating to delinquent children, which also established her husband's proposal.
