Jacques Fonlupt, known as Jacques Fonlupt-Espéraber (April 30, 1886 - December 4, 1980) was a French politician

Biography

Jacques Fonlupt was the son of Antoine Fonlupt, a merchant from Auvergne, and Marie-Louise Busch.[1] After taking a position as a lawyer in Brest, he married Henriette Esperaber, an associate jurist, on September 17, 1908, in Sauveterre-de-Béarn.[2]

He was appointed regional prefect for Alsace in 1943. He was noted for his hostility to the mayor of Strasbourg Charles Frey, and he challenged him in elections.[3]

He is referenced in Aimé Cesaire's Discourse on Colonialism, in which Cesaire sardonically notes that "Fontlup-Esperaber, who starches his mustache with it [blood], the walrus mustache of an ancient Gaul," alluding to his role in French colonial violence.[4]
