• Resumen

  • Since 1981, the French Communist Party (PCF) has been subjected to a process of degradation in all aspects : a series of electoral failures, loss of positions of local power, fall in membership and drop in militant activity, unfavorable development of its image in public opinion. These problems are rooted not only in current political events. The Party's électoral fragility goes bock to the late 1960s. The CGT has been losing ground for at least two decades. Rejection of the USSR by public opinion affects the PCF at each crisis of the communist world. Associating the structural weakness of its integration in French society with an inability to define or share a mobilizing political project, the PCF is open to a double danger which is likely to condemn it within a few years : a slow asphyxia by isolation, with brutal political shocks similar to those of 1958 and 1981.
