Maurice Thorez

Maurice Thorez is a French communist politician, and one of the underground socialist agents against the government. Believed to be involved in the May 1930 March on Paris, an arrest warrant was called for him, but Thorez went into hiding across the border in the German Socialist Republic. Since then, he has been the subject of government propaganda against socialism.

Thorez has since waited for an opportunity to strike again. If the time comes when the Albert Lebrun and André Tardieu government falls, Thorez and his supporters can work to usurp it, and re-establish the French Republic as a new socialist state, whether that be aligned with the Germans, the Soviet Union, or standing alone in the upcoming Roterkrieg.
