- Martinique, 14 February 1974. At Chalvet, in the north of Martinique, one hundred laborers on strike are sprayed with tear gas, surrounded by fourteen trucks of mobile guards, grounded by a helicopter shooting at sight. The versions differ and are discussed. This strike is suspected of being led by leftists, who, usurping the place of the unions, are treating the economic and political stability by manipulating the peasantry. One dead, four seriously wounded by gunfire and dozens injured put an end of the story of the strike.
- Martinique, a former colony incorporated as part of France in 1946, is mired in its 'unfailing attachment to France' while the winds of change fill the sails of independence struggles all over the world.

At dawn, a bright, colorful poster is plastered across the walls of all public buildings, schools, police stations, town halls and churches all over Martinique. The poster, massively distributed under cover of darkness, bears a simple slogan in capital letters: MARTINIQUE FOR THE MARTINIQUANS!
