French special services have developed an evacuation plan for Macron: there is a secret bunker

French President Emmanuel Macron could take refuge in a secret bunker on the outskirts of Paris in the event of mass unrest or an attack on the Élysée Palace. The plan to evacuate the president was developed as part of strengthening security measures ahead of the 2027 elections. This is being reported by The Telegraph based on a journalistic investigation.

 

The information is presented in the book "The New Army of Shadows" (La Nouvelle Armée des Ombres) authored by Per Gastino, Antoine Izambard, and Franck Renaud.

 

According to the authors, plans to evacuate Macron began to be developed in 2018 after the "Yellow Vests" protests. At that time, the president encountered protesting demonstrators during a visit to the town of Le Puy-en-Velay.

 

French special services are preparing for scenarios of mass unrest, sabotage actions, cyberattacks, and armed insurrection that could occur during the 2027 presidential elections.

 

According to sources interviewed by the book's authors, if the leader of the right-wing "National Rally" party, Marine Le Pen, wins, left-wing radicals, youth living in the suburbs, and rural activists may take to the streets to protest the election results. If left-wing politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon wins, concerns are expressed about the possibility of passive resistance by the police.

 

Additionally, the Paris police have conducted training exercises to prepare for a possible insurrection. France's foreign intelligence service has studied scenarios of election interference, while the capital's police have practiced operating without encrypted smartphones for 24 hours in the event of a large-scale cyberattack.

 

The book also describes exercises involving French and Belgian security services and Frontex. These tested scenarios involving a possible nuclear accident in Algeria, a mass influx of migrants into Europe, and cyberattacks linked to Russia's "shadow fleet."

 

Furthermore, French special forces have also developed plans to protect parliament in the event of an armed rebellion. Special services are also studying the possibility of restoring certain elements of clandestine resistance networks from the Cold War era.

 

At the same time, a former commander of a special forces unit emphasized that using the army to suppress internal unrest is dangerous. In his view, the main threat is that the authorities may begin to accept the use of military force against their own population as normal.
