 In 1933, the year Adolf Hitler gained power in Germany, perfumer François Coty founded "Solidarité française" and Marcel Bucard formed the "Francisme", which was subsidised by Mussolini.Another important league was François de la Rocque's "Croix de Feu", which formed the base for the "Parti Social Français" (PSF), the first mass party of the French right-wing.Mussolini was much more popular in right-wing circles than Hitler due to the negative reaction many French conservatives had to Hitler's repression of dissident German conservatives and Catholics in 1933 and 1934.
