Minoritaires

A minority of the French Socialist Party which formed in 1915. The minoritaires were followers of the social-reformist Charles Longuet (the members of the group are sometimes named Longuetists).

The party held Centrist views; during the First World War they took a social-pacifist stand. The group supported the October Revolution in Russia. The party split from the French Socialist Party in December 1920, and joined the Second International after its major breakdown.
