What happens
Following a long period of political and economic reforms, the communist ministers in the Popular Front government today demanded that the remaining ministers of the center either step down and acknowledge the Communist Party as the sole party of government, or join the Communist Party immediately. At the same time, armed workers from a number of large, government-owned factories moved to occupy strategic locations around the country. The army, under orders from Paris, has remained in the barracks and refused to intervene. By nightfall, the Communist coup was complete and the new government had secured power.
