What will happen between Italy and France. Fabbri’s analysis (Limes)
The United States is in favor of a rapprochement between Italy and France, from an anti-German perspective. The analysis by Dario Fabbri (Limes)
On April 21, a group of senior officers of the French army , including 20 retired generals , sent and signed an open letter in the weekly Valeurs Actuelles, a weekly linked to the French conservative right.
The concerns of the French military
“The letter reads the request to Macron and the Elysée to intervene in the suburbs and in all places where the separatism of immigrants of Muslim origin and religion occurs. – says Limes analyst Diego Fabbri in his weekly point -. To intervene so that separatism, this distance between neighborhoods and parts of the nation that are not integrated or assimilated, can end in the name of the values of French civilization. Otherwise, the signatories continue, civil war will break out in France and at that point the army and the armed forces will be forced to intervene to calm the situation if the Elysée does not do it immediately ”. The French military has therefore advanced a veiled, albeit not very credible, threat of a coup.
The difference between assimilation and integration
In the letter the military refers to the concepts of "assimilation" and "integration" but what is the difference? “Assimilation and integration are very different concepts – continues the Limes analyst -. Assimilation provides for the cancellation of any alterity between the populations of foreign origin and all the other parts of the population ”. A process that ends up inserting, even in a forced, compulsory way, the population of foreign origin within the anthropological figure of the nation. “Integration is simply the acceptance of members of a foreign community as good citizens – says Fabbri -. Therefore it limits itself to imparting the language to them, the rules of civil life while maintaining an aspect of cultural otherness which then generates that multiculturalism which is typical of integration ”.
France: country with limited sovereignty
The obligatory path for France would be that of integration. "Countries like France, which are not completely sovereign because within a sphere of influence of others, that is, within the American empire like all of Europe, cannot assimilate because the United States would never be in favor of a move this type – adds Fabbri -. Assimilation always has a military matrix place-period value. Countries that tend to assimilate do so because they think they must have a population that is completely identical in its cultural background, in order to then be able to face the milestone challenges envisaged by an effort of this type ”. So assimilation always has a war purpose and this is the region for which a hegemonic country, like the United States , cannot tolerate that the countries that are part of its sphere of influence assimilate populations of foreign origin for fear that one day the war inclination could backfire.
Macron's third way
However, the intention of President Macron would be different and is halfway between integration and assimilation. For example, through the formation of Imams who are directly linked to France and not formed individually or, worse, with the sponsor of Muslim foreign powers, one above all Turkey. This initiative has earned Macron accusations of " obscurantism " although pursuing the goal of assimilation belongs to all the great powers, starting with the United States , ending with China, Russia or Turkey. The intervention of the armed forces is on the same path as the policies undertaken by Macron. “The Armed Forces threaten a real military coup if the French state does not respond to their requests – continues Fabbri -. Beyond the danger of statements like these and the high probability that a military coup will occur in France, the letter has an evident weight in the future of France which risks being torn apart internally ”.
Marine Le Pen on the side of the military
The political response was not long in coming. "The Defense Minister announced harsh penalties for those who, still in service, signed the letter which was condemned by all French political parties with the sole exception of Marine Le Pen who said she was close to the requests made by the letter even if he does not agree with the terms – continues Fabbri -. The letter was published on April 21, exactly 60 years after the Algiers coup against General De Gaulle in the middle of the Algerian war of independence. Then the coup failed due to the very harsh intervention of General De Gaulle ”.

The reflections on Italy
The letter from the French military also affects us. Dario Fabbri , in fact, sees a link between the missive of part of the French army and the capture of 7 Italian terrorists who had been living in France for some time. Those arrested are former Red terrorists linked to the Red Brigades and Lotta: Marina Petrella, Giovanni Alimonti, Enzo Calvitti, Roberta Cappelli, Giorgio Pietrostefani, Sergio Tornaghi, Narciso Manenti. The arrest of former terrorists denies the " Mitterrand doctrine " adopted by all French presidents, including Sarkozy. “France uses the presence of terrorists from foreign countries on its territory to play them as a negotiating card vis-à-vis foreign governments – says Fabbri -. The extradition has not yet taken place, it will probably happen, and will signal a pro-Italian turn by the Elysée ”.
The Quirinal Treaty from an anti-German perspective
France and Italy are negotiating the signing of the Quirinal Treaty , an agreement should testify to a new phase in bilateral relations between Italy and France. The treaty, according to Dario Fabbri , would serve France and Italy "to prevent Germany from returning to austerity in a few years, which would deny the turnaround recorded by providing its guarantees for the issuance of bonds for the Recovery Fund and above all that the Germany is able to translate the sphere of economic influence it already manages within the continent into a geopolitical sphere of influence ”. The United States would be clearly in favor of a rapprochement between Italy and France, from an anti-German perspective. “ Our country does not have ample room for maneuver given the desperation that distinguishes it in this period – concludes Fabbri -, given the need for the money guaranteed by the Germans to survive. This is why he tries to crush himself on France inevitably to slow down the advancement of Germany ”.
