French
generals accuse Macron of treason over UN Migration Compact
A
group of French military generals have addressed an open letter to
President Emmanuel Macron accusing the him of “treason” over the
adopted UN Global Migration Compact in Marrakesh, Morocco.
14
December, 2018
Signed
by 164 nations on Monday, including France, the Compact supports
unlimited migration and open borders by focusing on the “human
rights” of migrants while any criticism of mass migration will be
treated as “hate speech”.
Ten
generals signed the
open letter written by General Antoine Martinez. The signatories
include top level figures, such as an admiral, a colonel, as well as
the former French Minister of Defense Charles Millon. They are from
the network of the Volontaires
pour la France (VPF)
The
generals warned Macron that the deal will mean less sovereignty for
France, providing yet another reason for “an already battered
people” to “revolt”.
They
accuse Macron of being “guilty of a denial of democracy or treason
against the nation” for signing the Compact without allowing a
public debate on the issue, or consulting the French electorate.
“The
French state is late in coming to realize the impossibility of
integrating too many people, in addition to totally different
cultures, who have regrouped in the last forty years in areas that no
longer submit to the laws of the Republic,” the letter continues,
adding that mass immigration has erased France’s “civilizational
landmarks”.
President
Macron’s approval rating fell to the lowest ever, with 18 percent
after he announced fuel tax hikes and support for mass immigration.
Martinez tweeted that “France is desperately looking for a
president”.
“One
again, the French have been left out of a decision that will change
the face of our country like never before,” tweeted Marine Le Pen,
leader of the National Rally. “What the contemptuous oligarchs have
done will be undone by the French people,” Le Pen added.
Eric
Ciotti, a Les
Républicains MP
who wrote a letter to the president’s office, signed by 55 party
MPs, asking to not sign the pact, and called the adoption a
“democratic scandal”. He urged a parliamentary debate since the
Compact would “eventually remove prerogatives of sovereignty”.
According
to conservative British MEP Janice Atkinson, the UN Compact will
result in Europe being flooded by 59 million new migrants within the
next 6 years.
Atkinson
meanwhile pointed
out that
the Compact could lead to hate speech laws that make it illegal to
use the term “illegal migrants,” replacing it instead with
“irregular migrants”. She said the deal would lead to European
countries having their “culture and identity crushed” and urged
countries not to sign the “deeply damaging” document.
“It
will be illegal not to use their prescribed language,” Atkinson
underscored, She said European citizens could “say goodbye to your
democracy and your way of life” if the Compact was implemented.
The
full letter from the French generals has been translated from the
original French.
****
Mister
President,
You
are about to sign the “Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular
Migration” on 10 and 11 December, which establishes a genuine right
to migration. It may impose itself on our national legislation
through pre-existing treaties or the principle of common
responsibility set out in this pact.
It
seems to us that the only sovereignty that will remain with France
will consist in freely setting the way in which the objectives of the
pact will have to be implemented. You can not give up this new part
of the national sovereignty without a public debate whereas 80% of
the French population considers that it is necessary to stop or
regulate drastically the immigration. By deciding alone to sign this
pact, you would add an additional reason for revolt to the anger of
an already battered people. You would be guilty of a denial of
democracy or treason against the nation.
In
addition, the finances of our country are drained and our debt is
growing. You can not take the risk of an expensive call for air
migration without first showing that you will not have to resort to
more taxes to meet the objectives of the pact. On the other hand, you
must be able, in terms of security, to curb the consequences linked
to the arrival of extra-European populations. Finally, you can not
ignore that the very essence of politics is to ensure security on the
outside and harmony within. However, this concord can be obtained
only if it maintains a certain internal coherence of the society
alone capable of allowing to want to do together, which becomes more
and more problematic today.
In
fact, the French state is late in coming to realize the impossibility
of integrating too many people, in addition to totally different
cultures, who have regrouped in the last forty years in areas that no
longer submit to the laws of the Republic.
You
can not decide alone to erase our civilizational landmarks and
deprive us of our carnal homeland.
We
therefore ask you to defer the signing of this pact and call by
referendum the French to vote on this document. You are accountable
to the French of your actions. Your election is not a blank.
We
support the initiative of General MARTINEZ against the signature of
this pact which must be adopted by the Member States of the UN at the
Intergovernmental Conference of Marrakech.
