	Biografia de Léon Blum
		Cuando, al estallar la Primera Guerra Mundial (1914-18), se formó el gobierno de la «Unión Sagrada», Blum fue llamado a colaborar como jefe de gabinete del ministro socialista de Obras Públicas (1914-16).
		Dicha formación, creada para hacer frente a la oleada fascista que se extendía por toda Europa, triunfó en las elecciones de 1936, de modo que Blum se convirtió en primer ministro.
		Blum fue detenido por el gobierno títere del mariscal Pétain; tras someterle a un juicio en el que no se le pudo hallar culpable de nada (1942), fue entregado a los alemanes, que le internaron en los campos de concentración de Buchenwald y Dachau (1943-44).

		Blum (effectively, a front man for the Stalinist French Communist Party) and the Front Populaire were a disaster for France, full stop.
		While Blum wasn’t in power long enough to screw things up in May 1940, he declined to oppose Hitler and Mussolini in Spain, standing pat as Republican Spain met its violent demise.

	LÃ©on Blum et ses contradictions - l'Humanite
		Cette interrogation intime, si inhabituelle chez un homme politique, ce doute Ã©mouvant et cette luciditÃ©, LÃ©on Blum les exprime le 10 mai 1936 - il y a presque exactement soixante ans - devant le Conseil national du Parti socialiste qui vient de le dÃ©signer pour diriger le gouvernement du Front populaire.
		Câest Blum qui a incarnÃ© le gouvernement de Front populaire, et de ce fait, Ã©tant donnÃ© ce quâÃ©tait la personnalitÃ© de Blum, le Â«Â jeÂ Â» nous indique aussi ce quâa Ã©tÃ© le Â«Â nousÂ Â» du Front populaire.
		Blum - avec ses fidÃ©litÃ©s, sa sincÃ©ritÃ©, son courage devant la haine - est lâexpression dâune incapacitÃ© chez la majoritÃ© des hommes politiques de gauche - le cas des communistes mÃ©riterait un autre dÃ©veloppement - et de leurs Ã©lecteurs de voir lâombre de la guerre dont le Reich nazi couvre toute lâEurope.

	Et Blum créa les «vacances payées»
		Léon Blum accepte donc la responsabilité de chef de gouvernement mais, tenant à respecter les usages, il attend plus d'un mois pour prendre ses fonctions, le 6 juin, en même temps que se réunit la Chambre nouvellement élue.
		Pour les mettre en oeuvre, Léon Blum s'appuie sur un haut fonctionnaire de gauche, Charles Picquenard, directeur de cabinet au ministère du Travail, chargé de rédiger un projet de loi en accéléré dans la nuit du 8 au 9 juin.
		Léon Blum sait «encadrer» ces nouvelles vacances, choisissant un homme de confiance (Léo Lagrange, jeune avocat de gauche, orateur athlétique) comme sous-secrétaire d'Etat aux Sports et aux Loisirs.

	Blum's Debut - TIME
		Deputies bustled into the Palais-Bour-bon last week for what was sure to be a wild scene, reception by the Chamber of new Premier Leon Blum, a prosperous and infirm old Socialist whose spidery limbs and thin beaked nose give him the air of a flamingo.
		Flapping gestures complete the illusion and Premier Blum last week was also bird-like in his air of being exquisitely preened and valeted.
		Strikes, Strikes, Strikes— Shrewdly all over France the country's well-read and canny working class sensed that with Leon Blum and Friends warming the seats of power, proletarians need fear no interference from police if they chose to strike and make demands on their employers.

	Assemblée nationale - La citoyenneté politique des femmes
		Sa nomination au poste de sous-secrétaire d'État à l'Éducation nationale dans le gouvernement Léon Blum en 1936 lui permit de réaliser (suppression de l'autorisation maritale pour l'obtention des passeports) ou d'amorcer plusieurs réformes.
		On a souvent relevé l'innovation, et le paradoxe, qu'a constitué la présence dans le gouvernement de Front populaire de Léon Blum en juin 1936, de trois femmes, ministres (ou « sous-secrétaires d'État ») alors qu'elles n'étaient, comme toutes les femmes de leur temps, ni électrices ni éligibles.
		Léon Blum lui-même, dans son deuxième gouvernement (13 mars-10 avril 1938), ne renouvela pas l'expérience.
