French army threatened Emmanuel Macron with coup

“Over 150,000 French military have signed a civil war warning letter, demanding serious anti-Islamist changes in society”, - Internewscast quotes Avia.pro.

Earlier, the defense department intended to take tough measures against the thousands of officers who signed the letter. Now, 150 thousand have turned to the authorities, with a total strength of the French army of 220 thousand soldiers.

The publication does not have official comments from the French Ministry of Defense.

It's worth reminding that on the eve of over 45 thousand French military left signatures on an open letter, expressing support for retired officers who announced the threat of "disintegration of the country". The letter from the French military speaks of the growth of "violence in our cities and villages". The military is concerned about the "disunity of communities", which "is consolidated in public space, in public debate".

Last year, Islamist attacks rocked France. In October, a young man of Chechen descent cut off the head of a college teacher in a suburb of Paris, who had previously shown his students a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad as part of the theme of freedom of speech. In the same month, another Islamist stabbed people in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, killing three people. Attacks in Lyon and Avignon were also planned.
