Entry: The Wonderful, Horrible Summer of 1968 Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/1968_in_the_city_of_lights#24422 Post contents: Taki is on target, as usual. After the big "silent majority" march in Paris, De Gaulle made his big mistake by calling for a national referendum on his proposals for sweeping reforms. He declared that if the referendum failed, he would resign. He forgot the he was president of France. Even his supporter turneds against him and the referendum was defeated. The anti-Guallist radicals failed to over throw him. It was the bourgeois right that did. Vive la France! Sent at: 2008 10 12
