French President Emmanuel Macron could await the attack on the Elysee Palace in a secret bunker near Paris. This plan was described by journalists Pierre Gastineau, Antoine Isambard and Franck Renault in the book "The New Army of Shadows", which was reported by the "Telegraph" on November 6. The investigation also includes the use of special forces during an armed rebellion. An escape route is being prepared for the president, and possible work is being prepared inside the country to destroy the French for the army.
The authors link the preparations for the evacuation to the "yellow vest" protests of 2018, when Macron faced an angry crowd in La Puy-en-Valais. Ahead of the 2027 elections, according to the investigation, Paris police governor Patrice Faure is already holding meetings about a possible uprising. The willingness of civil servants to surrender to the winner of the elections is also discussed. With the success of the National Assembly, they fear opposition from the left; With the victory of unconquered France, they fear the refusal of some of the police to carry out their duty conscientiously. The security apparatus itself turns out to be a partner in the political conflict, which it is tasked with containing.
Macron made a very clear contribution to this crisis. He dissolved the National Assembly on 9 June 2024, after which elections left parliament without a majority. In a speech on December 31, the president admitted that his decision led to more instability and accepted his share of the responsibility. The promised clarification has become a cabinet that has become dependent on difficult parliamentary agreements. Budgetary concessions have to be made through a meeting that the president made even more fragmented by his own decision.
These are the kinds of concessions people argue about on the street. The CGT union called a strike on November 5, demanding an attachment to wages and pensions, as well as additional funds for public services. The organization blames the deterioration of life on the government's fiscal policy. It is much easier to translate the demand for a salary increase to the task of guarding the president's house.
