Schiller in the fight against the franc de Gaulle. This was the French press. France, which has lost $3 billion since the unrest in may total gold and foreign exchange, responded to the decline of the franc with the closing of the stock market and the financial institutions.
De Gaulle could not decide to the recommended devaluation of the franc. After a special meeting in the Elysee Palace, he announced over the radio: - original language French - budget cut, foreign exchange controls, wage freeze - but no devaluation.

Details of relief and suspicion - this is the reaction of the Czechs on the withdrawal of Soviet forces.
