The Farmers' Party for Social Union (Parti paysan d'union sociale, PPUS) was founded on 11 July 1945 by Paul Antier under the name Farmers' Party to represent agricultural interests and succeed the pre-war French Agrarian and Peasant Party. Camille Laurens, former deputy syndic of the Peasant Corporation, became one of its leaders. On 6 October 1945, the party launched its weekly publication, L'Unité paysanne.
