The Autonomous Socialist Party (French : Parti socialiste autonome, PSA) was a splinter party from the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO). It was founded in September 1958 in reaction against the SFIO stance on the Algerian War and its acceptance of the Gaullist May 1958 putsch. Half a dozen SFIO members of the French National Assembly and local elected officials joined the splinter party, as well as members from the (centrist) Radical Party, most notably Pierre Mendès France, former Prime Minister. None of the PSA deputies were reelected at the November 1958 legislative election. The PSA merged into the Unified Socialist Party in 1960 as one of its founding organisations. [1]

Pierre Isaac Isidore Mendès France was a French politician who served as prime minister of France for eight months from 1954 to 1955. As a member of the Radical Party, he headed a government supported by a coalition of Gaullists (RPF), moderate socialists (UDSR), Christian democrats (MRP) and liberal-conservatives (CNIP). His main priority was ending the Indochina War, which had already cost 92,000 lives, with 114,000 wounded and 28,000 captured on the French side. Public opinion polls showed that, in February 1954, only 7% of the French people wanted to continue the fight to regain Indochina out of the hands of the Communists, led by Ho Chi Minh and his Viet Minh movement. At the 1954 Geneva Conference, Mendès France negotiated a deal that gave the Viet Minh control of Vietnam north of the seventeenth parallel, and allowed him to pull out all French forces. He is considered one of the most prominent statesmen of the French Fourth Republic.
