Why did Albert Camus leave the newspaper Combat in 1947?

Albert Camus left the Parisian daily newspaper Combat in 1947 due to growing disillusionment with the old-style political expediency practiced by both the Left and the Right.1

During his time as editor, Camus had championed an independent left-wing position rooted in the ideals of justice and truth, maintaining a firm belief that all political action must be grounded in a solid moral foundation. As the political climate shifted, he found that these values were increasingly compromised, leading him to sever his connection with the publication.1
