Eighteen serving officers who signed an open letter warning about the risk of "civil war" in France will face sanctions before a military council, the chief of staff of the armed forces said Wednesday.


"Each one (will go) before a senior military council, " General Francois Lecointre told Le Parisian newspaper, and could be "delisted" or "put into immediate retirement".

The open letter, published by right-wing magazine Valeurs Actuelles last week, predicted that failure to act against "suburban hordes" -- or residents of mainly immigrant suburban areas -- and other groups who "scorn our country" will lead to "civil war" and deaths "in the thousands".

Prime Minister Jean Castex labelled the rare intervention in politics by military figures "an initiative against all of our republican principles, of honour and the duty of the army".

The main instigators of the letter are alleged to have ties to far-right, anti-immigration movements in France.

The first signatory, Jean-Pierre Fabre-Bernadac, once ran security in the 1990s for the National Front leader, the Canard Enchaine newspaper reported.

Others include retired general Antoine Martinez, who founded "Volontaires pour la France", a right-wing group committed to defending "traditional French values".

The letter went on to say, "laxist" government policies would result in chaos requiring "the intervention of our comrades on active duty in a perilous mission of protection of our civilisational values".

French National anthem starts like this, seems too violent

Arise, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Bloody standard is raised, (repeat)
Do you hear, in the countryside,
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They're coming right into our arms
To cut the throats of our sons, our women!

To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let an impure blood
Water our furrows!

Probably in French it sounds like

we will surrender to the Germans again

So retired generals don't have freedom of speech. Another guillotine revolution is long due in that part of the world.

These so called political leaders of the West (Macron, Boris et al) as they toyed at the edges of racism and xenophobia for political expediency - they have opened the pandoras box of fascism within their countries. You watch how this open box now eats into their liberalism, and destroys the fabric of these societies. They'll attempt to create a major conflagration with China in order to move people's attention and hope for unity, but China should bite its tongue and even let them have the day. Because their inherent hatred for nonwhites will manifest into something ugly, and it will be something they wont be able to stop, especially with wealth erosion and inflation that is inevitable. A new era of colonialism will follow, and that is what China should counter. That way it will earn the world's trust and support. China has to play a 3 dimensional chess, or better yet play Go with the Chess players.
