The Economic Liberation Movement (French: Mouvement de libération économique, abbreviated MLE) was a political party in Moyen-Congo, formed by European settlers who had arrived in the colony after the Second World War. The party contested the 1952 Moyen-Congo Representative Council election from the Brazzaville constituency. It thus pitted itself against the Gaullist RPF in contesting for the votes of the Brazzaville Europeans.[1]
MLE was led by Christian Jayle. The party was made up by Jayle's associates; small merchants and journalists. The party called for complete free trade within the colony, and the promotion of small and medium-sized companies and removal of bureaucratic red tape and 'fiscal tyranny'.[1]
In the 1956 French National Assembly election, Jayle contested from an African constituency with a new party (the "Party of the Frano-African Community"), receiving merely 757 votes out of 148 000.[1]
