The Revolt of French Soldiers Against the Failing Immigration Policy

Abstract:

The article is about the revolt of French soldiers against the failing immigration policy of their country. It explains its rational causes at the historical, geopolitical as well as security levels. It analyses its three main acts since 2013 until today and presents their key actors: the high level generals and politicians. These acts are presented as historical accidents. The article shows that French soldiers refuse to be silent face to face big stakes, especially on the field of defence of the Republic against the growing violence of young immigrants. The text continues with the analysis of two manifests of French soldiers from spring 2021 that evoke the threat of the civil war in France and the role of the Armed forces in such a scenario.

    Str. 3 Revolta francouzských vojáků proti nezvládnuté přistěhovalecké politice

    Jan Eichler

    Obsáhlý článek v českém jazyce se na 20 stránkách zabývá revoltou ve francouzské armádě. Uvádí charakteristiku termínu revolta, hlavní představitele, příčiny a důsledky. Všímá si kritiku přistěhovalecké politiky francouzské vlády. Článek přináší hodnotné informace zejména proto, že sdělovací prostředky ČR se tomuto problému nevěnovaly.
    Překlep str. 5, zdroj 7.
