 George Ernest Jean Marie Boulanger
Rouvier, who next formed a cabinet, declined to take him as a colleague, and Boulanger was sent to Clermont-Ferrand to command an army corps.
To the astonishment of his friends, on April 1 he fled from Paris before it could be executed, going first to Brussels and then to London.
It was the end of the political danger, though Boulangist echoes continued for a little while to reverberate at the polls during 1889 and 1890.

 Georges Boulanger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nonetheless, his position became essential after President Jules Grévy was forced to resign: in January 1888, the boulangistes promised to back any candidate for the presidency that would in turn offer his support to Boulanger for the post of War Minister (France was a parliamentary republic).
Consequently, he and many of his supporters were voted to the Chamber, and accompanied by a large crowd on July 12, the day of their swearing in (the general himself was elected in the constituency of Nord).
After his flight, support for him dwindled, and the Boulangists were defeated in the general elections of July 1889 (after the government forbade Boulanger from running).

But in Britain such nasty episodes as the repression of the suffragette movement under Asquith, the breaking of Lloyd George's promises to the returning World War I veterans, and the bloody Fascist riots in London's East End all occurred under severe economic distress.
So did the ascension of the extremist Boulangist movement in late-nineteenth-century France, and the Action Française movement after World War I. Conversely, in both America and Europe fairness and tolerance have increased, and democratic institutions have strengthened, mostly when the average citizen's standard of living has been rising.
When their living standards are rising, people do not view themselves, their fellow citizens, and their society as a whole the way they do when those standards are stagnant or falling.

 Socialist Unity by Jean Jaurès
The ancient Boulangists, the Socialist-Radicals, who imagined that Socialism amounted simply to declaiming against the financiers, became merged in the Socialist party, properly so-called.
Millerand delivered the address at Saint Mandé, and, some days after, the Socialist group clearly formulated its doctrine: socialisation of capitalist property, conquest of political power by the organised working-class party, international union and action of the workers.
At a stroke, the Boulangist elements and pseudo-Socialists were thrown out: the division did not become very apparent to the people until the Dreyfus affair; but it was already accomplished.

 Modern times
The initial republic was lead by pro-royalists, but republicans (the "Radicals") and bonapartists scrambled for power.
The Radicals eventually gained power in the last two decades of the century, but crises like the potential "Boulangist" coup d'?at (see Georges Boulanger) in 1889, showed the fragility of the republic.
The Radicals' policies on education (supression of local languages, compulsory education), mandatory military service, and control of the working classes eliminated internal dissent and regionalisms, while their participation in the Scramble for Africa and in the acquiring of overseas possessions (such as French Indochina) created myths of French greatness.

During this period he wrote a number of openly anti-semitic and misogynist pieces.
Then, in the mid-1880s, he had a dramatic change of heart, rejected the far right, condemned the Boulangist movement, and moved initially to a loosely defined Republican left.

Jon Kofas writes: A report (3/21/ indicates about a 35% rise in anti-Semitic incidents, and a comparable rise in anti-Muslim attacks, statistic which reveal an active neo-Nazi minority escaping the authorities' scrutiny.
The birth place of Boulangist novelist/politician Murice Barres, the Aflred Dreyfus Affair, and Marshal Petain's Vichy regime, France is the most anti-Semitic country in Europe, at least overtly.
Amid corruption trials involving 47 people close to president Jacques Chirac, dating back to the days of his term as Paris mayor (1977-1995), it is difficult to understand why the current government would not be more active in suppressing anti-Semitic, racist, and xenophobic elements.

— As for Ferry’s coup d'état, it might well fall, for in 1889 the foot-slogger is much more of a Boulangist than he was a Republican when he disrupted MacMahon’s coup.
