Like retired generals and former officers who warned of an impending civil war in France, hundreds of French military personnel signed a new petition affirming their support for what was stated in their Sheikhs column.
The French newspaper "Le Parisien" said that this pessimistic text was signed this time by soldiers on duty, but they did not reveal their identities for fear of reprisal from their hierarchy.
The newspaper said that the aim of this "second round of shooting", which was published in the form of a new column in the magazine "Valeurs Actuelles" on Sunday, is to support the message that was previously published on the magazine's website itself.
Le Parisien said that the magazine invited French citizens to sign by default on this column, which it said that more than 150,000 Internet users had already responded to it since the invitation was published on Sunday evening until early Monday morning.
This column addresses the president of the republic, the ministers, members of parliament, and senior officers, saying, “These are the people who fought all the enemies of France.” Recently, to be in the ring just because of the honor of telling the truth there. "
The signatories express their support for what was stated in the column of retired senior officers, saying that "our sheikhs are right in the essence of their text, and in its entirety, as we see violence in our cities and villages. We see sectarian tendencies taking root in the public sphere and in public debate, and we see hatred for France and its history becoming the rule."
Le Parisien commented by saying that the disintegration of France is again the dominant idea in the new column. This chaos and violence will not come from a word uttered by a military man, but from a civilian uprising. "
The signatories, whom the French "Le Point" magazine said were several hundreds, confirm what they said by saying, "Yes, once again, the civil war is brewing in France and you are fully aware of it."
In a press comment he made to a French channel about this new message, French Foreign Minister Gerald Darmanan said Monday morning, "In democracy, the people decide," wondering, "Is courage to be anonymous? Whoever was brave let him reveal his name." These "brutal maneuvers" a few months before the first round of the presidential elections.
In the end, Le Parisien asked whether this new column would have the same momentum as the generals' column, and whether it would make the same noise, especially since the measures taken following the first column did not discourage the current two sites from doing what they had done.
