Sections of the French military plan a coup

Sections of the French military have called for a coup to save the country, it emerged yesterday.

The Defence Ministry was taking seriously appeals from royalist, ultra-traditionalist Catholic groups on the internet and in a magazine for a “coup de force” as criticism of François Hollande grows. The plotters claim that France is threatened by decadence, symbolised by the legalisation last month of gay marriage.
Remarkable story that appears to have gone unnoticed by most of the mainstream media. The article goes on to state that three senior French generals have been involved in plotting to institute a military dicatorship.
Peace always has been and always will be an intermittent flash of light in a dark history of warfare, violence, and destruction

Just a pipe dream of a reactionary minority. A coup d'etat is way more likely in Greece, IMO

I suspect that it is not in the MSM because an alleged plot by a very small minority is not real news.

France is very pro-EU, and one of the requirements for continueing membership is democracy.

I'm willing to bet that at least one of these generals is actually gay. Life's funny like that.
