History
A group of Trotskyists around La Verité named itself Ligue Communiste de France from April 1930. The Parti Communiste Internationaliste (PCI) was founded by Raymond Molinier (1904-1994) and Pierre Frank (1905-1984) in March 1936; in June 1936 the PCI merged with two other groups into the Parti Ouvrier Internationaliste (POI).
