Ex-Premier Benkhedda, despite his enmity toward Ben Bella, pointed the way to unity by going out and voting.

...principal Common Market airlines-Lufthansa, Air France, Alitalia and Belgium's Sabena-began to discuss pooling of their resources in a European Air Union in order to compete more effectively with Pan Am, TWA, and other international lines. KLM walked out after the first meetings in disgust at its proposed share of the combined revenues. But Dutch parliamentarians are unlikely to be willing to subsidize KLM permanently for the sake of national prestige, and Van der Beugel now says that KLM is watching the Air Union negotiations "with great interest."
