Jacques Fonlupt-Espéraber

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. After taking a position as a lawyer in Brest, he married Henriette Esperaber, an associate jurist, on September 17, 1908, in Sauveterre-de-Béarn.

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.

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.
