Ferdinand Samuel Lop, later Samuel Ferdinand-Lop, known as Ferdinand Lop (10 October 1891 in Marseille – 29 October 1974 in Saint-Sébastien-de-Morsent) was a French Jewish journalist, draughtsman, English language teacher, writer, poet, and humourist.[1] He stood repeatedly as a satirical candidate for the French Presidency and for the Académie française.[2]
He married Sonia Seligman on 18 January 1923 in Paris.
During the French Fourth Republic, Lop stood on an electoral platform which consisted of:
the elimination of poverty after 10 pm;[3]
the construction of a bridge 300 m wide, to shelter vagrants;
the extension of the roadstead of Brest to Montmartre and of the Boulevard Saint-Michel to the sea (in both directions) – a policy reprised from an earlier satirical candidate, Paul Duconnaud;
the installation of a slide in the Place de la Sorbonne, for students of the University of Paris [notorious for instigating political unrest];
the nationalization of brothels, to give prostitutes the benefits of public servant status;
the reduction of pregnancy from nine to seven months;
the installation of moving pavements, to make life easier for wanderers;
providing a pension to the widow of the unknown soldier;
the relocation of Paris to the countryside, for fresh air;[4]
the removal of the last coach from Paris métro trains.
He authored numerous booklets, often with evocative titles, such as Thoughts and aphorisms (1951), Pétain and history: What I would have said in my inaugural speech at the Académie française if I had been elected (1957), History of the Latin Quarter (1960–1963), Where is France going? (1961) and Antimaxims (1973).
He died and was buried at Saint-Sébastien-de-Morsent.
