(en) France, CNT-AIT: 80 Years! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The CNT-AIT, the French section of the International Workingmen's
Association, is 80 years old. While the Confederation was formally
created in December 1946 at a congress in Paris, the first CNT-AIT union
to be officially registered was the one in Toulouse, established on July
22, 1946.[Excerpt from the statutes of the first CNT-AIT union]However,
the presence of anarcho-syndicalism in France in general, and in
Toulouse in particular, has a much longer history. This is evidenced in
the CNT-AIT's Toulouse premises by the library cabinet of the masons'
union, which dates back to the first Toulouse labor exchange in 1892.

Formed from a regrouping of pre-war CGTSR-AIT veterans, migrant refugees
who had fled the fascist dictatorships of Franco in Spain and Bulgaria,
as well as young people who had participated in the Resistance but were
not satisfied with the return to normalcy, the CNT-AIT carried the hopes
of a social and libertarian revolution.

Cours Dillon (Toulouse), the first premises of the French CNT-AIT before
its relocation to the Labor Exchange.

Meeting of the French CNT-AIT and the Spanish CNT-AIT (Exile) in
Clermont-Ferrand, May 18, 1947.
Despite the vicissitudes of its turbulent history, the CNT-AIT-through
the will and actions of its members and sympathizers-continues its
journey, participating in the universal human emancipation movement,
spreading anarcho-syndicalism through ideas and action.
If you too would like to participate, please do not hesitate to contact
us; all willing hands are welcome!
