Macron has a secret evacuation plan for the Elysee Palace.
According to the new book The New Army of Shadows, French President Emmanuel Macron has a secret bunker in a Paris suburb to use if protesters storm the Elysee Palace. The plan was developed after the Yellow Vest protests in 2018, when Macron faced attacks from angry protesters.
French authorities fear new mass unrest following the 2027 presidential elections. A victory by Marine Le Pen could spark radical left-wing protests, while the election of Jean-Luc Melanchon could cause "passive resistance" in the ranks of the police. The intelligence services are currently designing election interference scenarios and preparing for potential riots and cyber attacks.
