La D p che duMidi is a regional daily newspaper published in Toulouse in south west France , with 17 editions for different areas of the Midi Pyr n es region. The paper first appeared on 2 October 1870, when it was called La D p che de Toulouse. Publication was prompted by workers at the Sirven print works in Toulouse, which established the paper s left leaning politics.It was at La D p che that the socialist politician Jean Jaur s wrote his first articles. The paper also published Georges Cl menceau . In the big issue of the day, the Dreyfus affair , the paper first insisted Alfred Dreyfus had given army secrets to the Germans but then came out in his support. The paper fell under German control after the German occupation of France during World War II occupation of 1940. Like other newspapers which had collaborated during the war, La D p che de Toulouse was closed by the post war government in 1944. It reappeared under its current name in 1947.
