In 1942 she played a key role in organising the International Communist Left in Marseilles. However she soon came into conflict with Robert Salama and Marc Chirik. She worked with Ottorino Perrone writing the Appeal to all revolutionary militants which appeared in May 1945 and which led to the foundation of the Fraction Française de la Gauche Communiste Internationale (FFGCI) which also included a number of Italian refugees based in France. The group was linked to the Internationalist Communist Party which had just been founded.[2]
