Pieds noirs treated every new governor as a betrayer

Evidence

In December 1956 the pieds noirs were certainly not “beguiled” by the new Commander-in-Chief. To them he was the left-wing general who had sold out in Indo-China and was now coming to do the same in Algeria. They reacted to his appointment with the same irrational, ill-founded rage with which they had greeted first Soustelle, then Catroux. This time, however, some of them were prepared to go much further to demonstrate their mistrust. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 538
