In France, there is no longer chat in saloons and media outlets except the fallouts of an easy that published by French military men among them twenty generals and a hundred high brass as well as one thousand another servicemen, on the pages of "Valeurs Actuelles", a weekly hardliner magazine.
The essay which talked about the dismantling of France was followed by another one penned by Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the far-right in France, who urged the angry officers to participate in elections.
Those military men condemned the dismantle that hits France and shows in something of anti-racism, with one goal of creating a state of distress or even installing hatred between groups in French society.
They considered that the disintegration of France with Islamism and the suburban hordes, lead to the separation of many groups of the nation to turn it into patches subject to beliefs that contradict the French constitution.
Although the signatories of that easy will face penalties, the same magazine published a new article in the same context a few days ago
The new article entitled "For The Sake of The Survival of Our Country" was written by military personnel who are still in the service and did not disclose their names.
They opened the article to collect more signatures, and the number of signatories to the article exceeded 36 thousand people so far.
The article was directed at France's President Emmanuel Macron, ministers, parliamentarians, and senior officials.
It urged those people to take action as this time it is not related to demanding sentiments, vulgar formulas, or media echoes.
"It is not required to extend your mandates or win other terms, rather, what is at stake is the survival of our country, your country," the officers said.
The signatories of the article defined themselves as the ones whom the newspapers called “ Fire Generation."
They added: "Whether in Afghanistan, Mali, Central Africa, or other locations, a number of us faced enemy fire. Some of us lost our comrades."
That article along with its predecessor caused clamor and intense debate within the political class in France.
Some people considered that the article was like a call for rebellion inside the country, especially from those whose duties require a reservation.
Meanwhile, others greet such an uprising that will save the country from people who are aware of what they say.
Doubtlessly, we see in such a new public political sphere charged with new conflicts that the Fifth Republic has not ever experienced in its history.
The French government’s institutional reactions, such as the new bill submitted by France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan to the Council of Ministers.
The bill has 19 articles that touch intelligence, fight against terrorism in the country, which has witnessed in recent years an unprecedented wave of attacks carried out by extremist Islamists, which left more than 260 people dead.
The new bill includes 19 articles that aim to modernize and strengthen several provisions of the Intelligence Law, the Internal Security Law, and the Combating of Terrorism.
And among the most prominent articles included in the draft is the possibility of extending the measures of inpidual surveillance (house arrest) "to a maximum of two years" after release from prison compared with the current one year for people who have been sentenced to at least three years in prison, with enforcement of terrorism charges.
The text also allows for judicial measures to be taken against those "released from prison," but what is new in security intelligence is similar to what we see in soap operas like American ones, such as the "Blacklist" series.
The bill proposes using "algorithm" technology to obtain data of everyone who uses the Internet and process this data. This technology aims to uncover all persons inclined to embrace religious extremism or those who may plan to carry out violent acts, as well as to track their behavior.
In the event, for example, a person who saw several times a videotape showing the beheading on the Internet or social media and other content of a terrorist context, the General Directorate of Internal Security in France will request permission from three people, including the representative of the National Committee for Automated Information and Freedoms in France, for the sake of revealing the identity of this person.
The French Interior Minister unveiled that such technology had allowed the police to thwart terrorist plotters since 2017 in France.
The boldness of the French soldiers who wanted to intervene in the public political sphere, and the nature of the bill on combating terrorism, all come one year before the presidential elections scheduled for May 2022, which suggests that security issues in France and even in many Western countries are a priority for the majority of Westerners after the health crisis.
