ELECTIONS
Deception? Trickery? Mockery? Division? Betrayal? Takeover?
LEGITIMATE? NO!
Rigged: Electoral lists are not updated! Doctored electoral districts! Youth under 21 can’t vote, 2,500,000 (foreign) workers can’t vote!
DEMOCRATIC? NO!
Fascist: Progressive organizations have been dissolved! The Government has freed the OAS terrorists! The State spreads repression in the factories and in the streets through its police and CDR commandos!
FREE? NO!
Poisoned: The ORTF is besieged by the army! (Radio) Europe and Luxembourg are owned by the bourgeoisie! The mass media are on capital’s payroll!
THESE ELECTIONS ARE A MANEUVRE TO DIVERT AND SABOTAGE THE REAL DEMOCRACY THAT WAS BORN IN MAY.
– IN MAY THE PEOPLE CHOSE: … WORKERS POWER!
– IN JUNE THE PANICKING POLITICIANS MADE THEMSELVES THE ACCOMPLICES OF CAPITALIST POWER BY SUPPORTING THEIR ELECTIONS

Cross of Lorraine
(3 June 1968, Fac Medicine)
Black screen-print on newsprint
This poster was released just after de Gaulle had announced the election to be held at the end of June.
The Cross of Lorraine (Croix de Lorraine) was the symbol of Free France (the government-in-exile led by Charles de Gaulle) during World War 2, and was retained by de Gaulle after the war as the symbol of his political movement: Gaullism.
So here we have a depiction of the generic French voter with de Gaulle’s symbol screwed right into his brain.
