Maurice Jean Marie Bourgès-Maunoury (French pronunciation: [mɔʁis buʁʒɛs monuʁi, moʁ-]; 19 August 1914 – 10 February 1993) was a French Radical politician who served as the Prime Minister in the Fourth Republic during 1957.[1]
Bourgès-Maunoury was born in Luisant, Eure-et-Loir. He is best known for fulfilling a prominent ministerial role in the government during the 1956 Suez Crisis.[2]: 49–50
He became Prime Minister in June 1957. While he was Prime Minister, the French Government achieved Parliamentary ratification of the Treaty of Rome, which led to the creation of the European Economic Community. He was succeeded as Prime Minister in November 1957 by Félix Gaillard.[3]
As minister of Interior, he nominated the controversial Maurice Papon at the head of the Prefecture of Police in 1958, functions which he kept during the 1961 Paris massacre.
He died in Paris in 1993.[3][citation needed]
