Commentary
Cette médaille a été décernée à Jacques Masteau, né le 18 juillet 1903 à Poitiers (Vienne). Il fut un des plus jeunes députés de la Vienne dès 1936 et jusqu’en 1942. En 1941, Jacques Masteau est alors nommé maire de Poitiers par le gouvernement de Vichy. Il occupera ces fonctions jusqu'en 1944 où, à partir du débarquement du 6 juin, son aide précieuse aux alliés et son action courageuse lui valent d'éviter l'indignité nationale, et d'être décoré de la croix de guerre 1939-1945. Il sera ensuite Sénateur de la Vienne de 1948 à 1969. Il décédera le 27 mars 1994 à Poitiers (Vienne).

Historical background
IV REPUBLIC
(16/01/1947-8/01/1959)
Characterized by a parliamentary regime coupled with great ministerial instability, the Fourth Republic has the particularity of never having been officially proclaimed. Indeed, De Gaulle, when he arrived in Paris on August 25, 1944, refused to do so on the pretext that the Republic had never ceased to exist. Considering that the French State of Marshal Pétain was only a simple state of affairs, he considers that the Republic survived in free France and his birth certificate must then be June 18, 1940. However, his departure, the January 20, 1946, and the referendum of October 13, 1946 approving a new Constitution, mark the official beginning of this republic. It knows two presidents: Vincent Auriol (16/01/1947 - 23/12/1953) and René Coty (23/12/1953 - 8/1/1959). The open crisis caused by the revolt of the army of Algeria leads, in 1958, to its fall which is confirmed by the adoption of a new constitution on September 28, 1958. Nevertheless, it does not cease definitively until the 8 January 1959 when General de Gaulle was installed as President of the Fifth Republic.
