Among the protesters were the very powerful veterans' associations, closely tied to the far right, which sought to expand their influence and began engaging in propaganda. This poster was reproduced on the back of the Civic Action Program of the Veterans, published by Combatant Action. In its foreword, it reads: "To rally the entire country to the ideas of restoring public spirit and reestablishing state authority, as voted in the Wagram Hall in October 1933 and largely adopted by the National Confederation of War Veterans on March 25, 1934, the National Union of Veterans created Combatant Action.
