Election poster from the PvdA (Dutch Labour Party) with the picture of Joop den Uyl. Johannes Marten (Joop) den Uijl (1919-1987) was a Dutch politician of the Labor Party (PvdA). From 1973 to 1977 he was Prime Minister of the Netherlands. His surname was officially ‘Den Uijl’, but he always used ‘Den Uyl’. Den Uyl, who came from a Reformed family and previously worked as a civil servant and journalist, managed the scientific bureau of the PvdA from 1949. He entered the House of Representatives in 1956 through the Amsterdam city council. After being a councilor in Amsterdam, he served in the Cals cabinet (1965-1966) as Minister of Economic Affairs. He gained his greatest fame afterwards: first as leader of the political group, progressive opposition leader and prime minister of his own shadow cabinet, then as prime minister after the 1972 parliamentary elections. The Den Uyl cabinet (1973-1977) had a large parliamentary majority and was the most progressive cabinet in parliamentary history. The cabinet tried to combat what he believed to be inequality by means of government investments, tax measures and expansion of social services, but had to limit expenditure from 1975 due to economic headwinds. At the same time, as prime minister, Den Uyl had to deal with the 1973 oil crisis (which led to the introduction of the car-free Sunday), the Lockheed affair, the Menten case and the Surinamese independence. The cabinet fell prematurely due to the cabinet crisis over land policy.

Poster from The Netherlands, 1979, announcement for a demonstration and manifestation against the Junta of Chili and with a call for international isolation of the Junta of Chile. The 1973 Chilean coup d’état was a military coup in Chile that deposed the Popular Unity government of President Salvador Allende. On 11 September 1973, after an extended period of social unrest and political tension between the opposition-controlled Congress and the socialist President, as well as economic warfare ordered by U.S President Richard Nixon, a group of military officers led by General Augusto Pinochet and Admiral José Toribio Merino seized power in a coup, ending civilian rule. The military established a junta that suspended all political activity in Chile and repressed left-wing movements, especially communist and socialist parties and the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR). Pinochet rose to supreme power within a year of the coup and was formally declared President of Chile in late 1974. The Nixon administration, which had worked to create the conditions for the coup, promptly recognized the junta government and supported it in consolidating power. During the air raids and ground attacks that preceded the coup, Allende gave his final speech, vowing to stay in the presidential palace and refusing offers of safe passage should he choose exile over confrontation. Direct witness accounts of Allende’s death agree that he killed himself in the palace.

The Pacifist Socialist Party was a left wing Dutch socialist political party. The PSP played a small role in Dutch politics. The party was founded 1957 and was ended in 1991 when the party converted with some other small left wing, communist and anarchy party’s into Groen Links (meaning Green Left). Wich still exist today (2019).
In 1955 a group of “politically homeless” activists had formed. The group mainly consisted of former members of the Labour Party (PvdA) and the Communist Party of the Netherlands (CPN). Many of them had a background in the orthodox Marxist wing of the Social Democratic Workers’ Party or the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which had merged into the PvdA. The former members of the CPN had left their party over the Stalinist course of the CPN.
These politically homeless individuals were a diverse group: progressive Christians, leftwing socialists, orthodox Marxists, anti-Stalinist Trotskyists, left communists, liberal pacifists and some anarchists. Many of them were active in the developing peace movement.
On 26 January 1957 the PSP was founded by this group.
