Leftist Rifts Deepen Over Nationalization Policy
Paris Communist leader Georges Marchais accused his Socialist allies of helping the center right by resisting broad nationalizations. He warned Francois Mitterrand would bear responsibility if Giscard dEstaing's coalition wins next March. The dispute follows Barre's attack on the left and polls showing a shift toward the president. Marchais condemned Socialist restraint, saying Socialists risk aligning with big capital if they continue a swing to the right. The Communists seek more state ownership while Socialists push limits.
