Answer
The relationship between Desmoulins and Robespierre, once close allies in the French Revolution, ultimately ended in hostility and enmity. As the Revolution progressed and the Committee of Public Safety gained increasing power, Desmoulins grew critical of the authoritarian turn and expressed his concerns in his writings. This criticism did not sit well with Robespierre, who saw it as a threat to his authority and the unity of the revolutionary movement.
