add to cart   close window

Warm and pressing invitations were extended to the socialists to form a united front--currently the major theme of the French Communist Party--but it was significant that such appeals were made by a leadership and a party that remain faithful to Stalinist methods. The high command is aware of the danger represented by deviations within the ranks and has taken steps to suppress these differences. At the congress, all the old members of the party's central committee and political bureau were re-elected; major changes in personnel might have aroused suspicions and crystallized discontent within the ranks.
