He joined only the moderate left, then the socialists. In 1940 he was one of the 80 MPs who voted against the Enabling Act of the Vichy regime. That's why he was interned in a camp at Saint -Paul. In 1944 he sat in the provisional Parliament, a year later he was elected to the Constituent Assembly. In 1946 he was re-elected to the board, but then did not stand for election.
