Programme commun

The Programme commun (or 'Common Programme') was a reform program, signed 27 June 1972 by the Socialist Party, the French Communist Party and the centrist MRG, which provided a great upheaval in the economic, political and military fields in France. This alliance opened a political repositioning for the left that lasted thirty years, contributing in particular to the election of François Mitterrand in the presidential election of 1981. Between 1981 and 1983 Mitterrand began putting Programme commun into action.
