Frankreich lässt sich nicht spalten

[Quintus Fabius]

lime:

Tatsächlich sind viele Rechtsextreme aus der Rassemblement National ausgetreten als diese aus der Front National entstand weil die RN ihnen nicht rechts genug war. Gerade aber im Militär und bei der Polizei stieg seitdem die Zustimmung nochmal deutlich.

The study – Who Do the Barracks Vote For? – by the Ifop polling institute for the Jean Jaurès foundation, which was published on July 15th, concludes that the far-right vote among French military has risen significantly since the 2012 presidential election.

For example, at Suippes, in the Marne, where the 40th artillery regiment and the 132nd canine battalion are based, Marine Le Pen won 65.3 per cent of the vote in the second round of the 2017 presidential election, compared with 33.94 per cent nationwide.

The far-right leanings of the military are not a surprise. A study by Cevipof, the research centre for Sciences Po in Paris, concluded that 51.5 per cent of the military voted for the Front National in 2015 regional elections.

Und die Reaktion des Staates spricht schon Bände für sich:

Tracfin, part of the economy ministry, is working with other intelligence organisations to watch military and former military who might be tempted by violent action. The commission’s first recommendation was greater surveillance of military and former military “implicated in ultra-right groups”.
