French Social Party

Common card · No. 424755

The French Social Party (French: Parti social français, PSF) was a French nationalist political party led by François de La Rocque from 1936 to 1940. La Rocque established the PSF after the dissolution of his Croix-de-Feu, a far-right league banned by the Popular Front government, with a more moderate and democratic ideology. The PSF was France's first right-wing mass party and experienced considerable initial success until it disappeared in the wake of the Fall of France in 1940. The PSF was not refounded after the Second World War, but the Republican Social Party of French Reconciliation was established in 1945 as a spiritual successor by former PSF members and it prefigured the rise of Gaullism after the war.
