Anger in France over 'civil war' warning in open letter from group of active service soldiers

PARIS, FRANCE -- The government of French President Emmanuel Macron reacted with fury Monday after a group of serving French soldiers published an open letter warning that "civil war" was brewing over his "concessions" to Islamism, weeks after a similar message from elements in the military rocked the elite.

But it was welcomed by far-right leader Marine Le Pen, seen as Macron's main rival for next year's presidential election. "They have offered up their lives to destroy the Islamism that you have made concessions to on our soil," they wrote. "If a civil war breaks out, the military will maintain order on its own soil... civil war is brewing in France and you know it perfectly well," the letter said.

"One can have personal convictions but the armed forces are apolitical and have absolute loyalty to the elected president. If you feel bad you can leave the army with a clean conscience," the officer said.

Liberals facing pressure from Bloc Quebecois plan to table bill strengthening French language laws in QuebecYves-François Blanchet has promised to test Justin Trudeau’s ‘resolve’ by calling on all MPs to back Quebec’s legislation Quebec + JT support = racist ethno-state. Anti-hijab law, language law, Bill C-10 is replacement theory in action. Obviously, Canada must be a country with no actual problems (or opportunities). So our elections can be decided based on performative nonsense about beating up minority language speakers to appease a bunch of insecure crybabies in Quebec. Lets stop the stupidity of a few Bloc's and re open Canada's economy...sound good?

Opinion: Make French safer by making Quebec richerReducing taxes and regulatory burdens in education would make it more attractive for immigrants to learn French Are there any examples in the world where social subsidies, tax breaks and hostile language laws ever reversed the apparent desire of a society to culturally change? It appears to only slow it down as the world grows smaller. Lol That just sounds dumb! Since quebec has no ties to france!
