Fears of a coup in France are exaggerated, but a far-right president is a real possibility

There’s nothing new in a sizeable segment of the military holding far-right beliefs and voting accordingly. In 2017, Le Pen took as much as 65% of the vote in areas close to barracks, compared to 33.9% nationwide. The older retired officers – like Martinez, 72, and Piquemal, 80 – are haunted by memories of the 1940 French surrender to the Nazis, the army’s defeats in Indochina and Algeria, and the 1968 leftist riots, which they see as the swan song of a more traditional France. The paratroopers, the foreign legion and the marine infantry units, from which many who signed the open letter hail, are especially known for their staunchly conservative

Will the threat of a military putsch strengthen France s far-right?

“The Grande Muette is not blind.” So said Jean-Pierre Fabre-Bernadac, a retired French army captain, a week before thousands of former soldiers and at least 18 serving military personnel signed an explosive open letter threatening a coup . Fabre-Bernadac’s use of the 19th century nickname for the army, meaning “the great mute”, refers to the 170 year-long pact between France’s military and civilian authorities, according to which the army avoids politics completely. By invoking it, the captain suggested that the contemporary army, in his view at least, was prepared to undermine that understanding.    The letter, published in the right-wing magazine  Valeurs Actuelles, contains a number of incendiary claims. It argues that “hateful and fanatical” anti-racists who “despise our country, its traditions and its traditions … want racial war”. It warns that Islamists and “the hordes of the

French officers face sanctions after civil war warning

LONDON: A former French officer who signed a letter denouncing the government of Emmanuel Macron earlier this week has warned of the threat of civil war if his message that France is facing “disintegration” as a result of Islamism is ignored. Jean-Pierre Fabre-Bernadac, 70, told British newspaper The Times that he plans to create a “powerful” organization to combat what he said were ethnic “hordes” and political correctness “ruining” France. Fabre-Bernadac said he now wanted to “structure” a movement to create a nationwide “camaraderie,” and wanted it to be a “powerful lobby,” adding that if not listened to it would take France “a further step towards civil war, which we don’t want.

Majority of French voters AGREE with military chiefs who threat

A majority of French voters have said they agree with the generals who threatened a coup if Emmanuel Macron cannot prevent the rise of radical Islam, according to new a poll. Published last week in right-wing magazine Valuer Actuelles (Today s Values), the explosive letter warned of the disintegration of France because of radical Islamic hordes living in the suburbs. More than 1,000 retired soldiers signed the letter, including at least 18 serving officers, who were condemned as  absolutely revolting by Macron s top general.  But, in signs of a deepening chasm between the president and the electorate, a new poll published by news channel La Chaîne Info has found that 58 per cent supported the letter, while 42 per cent were opposed.
