“If the duty of memory vis-à-vis those who fought in the face of Nazi barbarism is a necessity that the CGT has always defended, it cannot, to be complete, put aside the fights that they and they carried, and the project which was theirs, formalized on March 15, 1944 in the program of the National Council of Resistance”, writes the union in a press release.
