		The vote for the “extremes,” left and right, in the first round of the French presidential election in April has clearly encouraged him to take a “militant” stand against Hue and the rest of the party leadership, whose policies and tactics are threatening to run the Stalinist organization into the ground.
		So no political perspective planned and at the same time the jettisoning of the fundamentals of the Communist Party which is the intransigent defense of the interests of people, the struggle with them to achieve something, putting down motions at the National Assembly and opening up a political perspective.

	ICFFS-Cold War France and America
		De Gaulle’s rappochement to the Soviet Union and the communist regimes in Eastern Europe in the mid-1960s, was, after the strategic changes in Soviet foreign policy announced in 1956, the first major event causing “early détente” on the European continent, and eventually leading to the global détente of the 1970s.
		The central argument of the paper is that, through establishing friendly relations with the communist regimes, de Gaulle caused an impasse to the PCF on two levels, a strategic one and one related to political identity.
		The paper is based foremost on extensive research into the archives of the PCF, including internal records of the party’s leading organs, correspondence with communist parties such as the Soviet communist party and the Italian PCI, and correspondence with other actors on the French left such as the SFIO and FGDS.
