Paix et Liberté (French: Peace and Liberty) was an anti-communist movement which operated in France during the 1950s. Contents 1 Founding 2 Propaganda 3 Posters 4 Appendices 4.1 External Links 4.2 References // Founding In response to the Stockholm Appeal , Jean-Paul David, then Radical Socialist Party deputy mayor of Mantes-la-Jolie and later Secretary General of the Rally of Republican Lefts , created Paix et Liberté in 1950, in order to respond to the propaganda of the French Communist Party. Its propaganda efforts received substantial financial backing from the United States[1]. Paix et Liberté was one of the organizations of the "anti-Communist apparatus" booming during the Cold War. The organization had the support of René Pleven, President of the Council, and many politicians of the time. But the experience stopped in 1955 because of a thaw in international relations. Propaganda Paix et Liberté published, distributed and cupboards hundreds of thousands of posters in France in the 50s. These posters are reproduced in the form of vignettes, denouncing the Stalinist regime and communist propaganda, but also the Communist Party and its leaders, described as agents in the service of the USSR, such as Maurice Thorez or Jacques Duclos. Jean-Paul David also uses the radio with his show: "the fireside chats" (which lasted only a few minutes), inaugurated on September 22, 1950. Posters "The dove that goes BOOM" (1950, 300,000 copies) was the first in a series of posters (on average 3 per month were released between 1950 and 1955). It parodied Poster Picasso's "dove of peace" that Louis Aragon had chosen to symbolize the congress of the World Peace Council, held in Paris in April 1949. In this picture, the dove was shown metamorphosing into a Soviet tank – its wings have become tank treads, and its head is a tank turret. This picture was later used at the end of the 1951 US propaganda film The Big Lie. In reference to the Stockholm Appeal for nuclear disarmament, a poster was produced of "The shovel of Stockholm", digging the grave of the countries in Eastern Europe.
