La position du Mouvement Européen devant le vote de l'Assemblée
After the National Assembly's vote on the European Defence Community (EDC), with this poster the French General Delegation of the European Movement voiced a firm objection to the outcome. They condemned the exclusion of the Treaty’s supporters from the discussion and criticized the government's lack of response. The Delegation cautioned about the dangerous repercussions of the vote, particularly its dependence on communist backing, which risks politically and morally isolating France from its allies, damaging relations with Germany, and weakening the Atlantic Alliance. Despite these difficulties, the Delegation committed to continuing its support for European integration and urged citizens to take strong measures to confront the crisis.
