Every French reform effort in Algeria was blocked by pied noir pressure groups

Evidence

Before Sétif, various attempts had been made at political and social reform — in 1868, 1919 and 1944. By and large they had followed a dismally stereotyped pattern; initiated by metropolitan French governments, frustrated by pied noir pressure-groups. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 101
