Summary/Abstract: The French Communist Party (PCF) adopted an unequivocally pro-Moscow position towards the events in Hungary in 1956, criticising the rebels and supporting Soviet intervention. This provoked violent social opposition, culminating on 7 November when, during the riots, attempts were made to seize and set fire to the buildings of the PCF Central Committee and the communist newspaper “L’Humanité”. Three people were killed and many injured in the street fighting. While the attitude towards the Budapest uprising caused many intellectuals to move away from the PCF, the attacks of 7 November strengthened the unity of the party, which remained the most pro-Soviet of all Eurocommunist forces.
