France’s 1947 statute for Algeria collapsed into compromise and left Muslim deputies abstaining

Evidence

Nevertheless, on 27 August 1947 it was finally voted in by 328 to 33, with 208 abstentions — including, discouragingly, those of the fifteen Muslim deputies. The 1947 statute tabled five important reforms which the Muslims had been demanding for many years: — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 199 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
