Poll: Majority of French Agree With Military Generals That the Country is Heading Towards Civil War Summit News

It is no longer the time to procrastinate, otherwise tomorrow civil war will put an end to this growing chaos and deaths for which you will be responsible with numbers in the thousands, the letter concludes.

Despite the letter being condemned by the government and the media, a new poll has found that a majority of the French people agree with its substance.

A survey by Harris Interactive found that 58% of respondents support the words of the soldiers, reports Valeurs.

A clear majority 84% said violence was increasing in society and 73% thought the country was disintegrating. Almost three quarters think the anti-racism movement is having the opposite impact and making race relations worse.

Almost half (49%) also think that the military should be sent in to occupy problem areas, which would act on its own to restore order.

Only one in three respondents said the signatories should be punished, despite the minister in charge of the armed forces, Florence Parly, indicating that active duty members would face sanction.

I’m somewhat skeptical of this story, but it’s still alarming.
