A group of serving French soldiers have published a new open letter warning Emmanuel Macron that the survival of France is at stake after the President made concessions to Islamism.
The letter published in the right-wing magazine Valeurs Actuelles (Today s Values) late on Sunday echoes the tone of a similar letter printed in the same magazine last month which also warned a civil war was brewing and called for military action against Islamists .
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, a close ally of Macron, slammed the letter as a crude maneouvre and accused its anonymous signatories of lacking courage .
The previous letter, signed by 1,000 people including serving officers and some 20 semi-retired generals, warned of the disintegration of France because of radical Islamic hordes living in the suburbs.

Paris: The European Union has not made any new orders for AstraZeneca vaccines beyond June when their contract ends, European Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said on Sunday, after the EU signed a deal with Pfizer-BioNTech.
Breton also said he expected the costs of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines to be higher than the earlier versions.

The Commission last month launched legal action against AstraZeneca for not respecting its contract for the supply of COVID-19 vaccines and for not having a “reliable” plan to ensure timely deliveries.
“We did not renew the order after June. We’ll see what happens,” Breton told France Inter radio. He did not rule out a potential renewal at a later stage.
