Republican Front (France)

Republican Front (France)

The Republican Front was a French center-left coalition which won the 1956 legislative election. In the context of the Algerian War, behind Pierre Mendès-France, it gathered the Socialist party SFIO, the Radical Party, the Democratic and Socialist Union of the Resistance and the National Center of Social Republicans which came from a split of the Gaullist movement.

The SFIO leader Guy Mollet took the head of the cabinet. But his repressive policy in Algeria caused a division in the coalition and the resignation of Pierre Mendès-France and of some ministers.
