The article argues that Emmanuel Macron's accession to the Élysée in 2017 was the result of a "real coup d'état," orchestrated by the senior civil service, funded by oligarchic networks, and finalized by the French judicial system. It links this narrative to a broader thesis that the European Union and an "elite bloc" are now using the accusation of "foreign interference" to manipulate or annul elections, citing Romania, Moldova, and threats against the AfD in Germany. The author claims that anti-liberty measures, interventions by "subservient" judiciaries, and restrictions on freedom of expression in Europe aim to prevent the expression of universal suffrage, particularly in view of the 2027 French presidential election. He attributes to Thierry Breton statements admitting to election rigging in Romania and the intention to repeat it in Germany, without providing a verifiable direct source. The whole is based on a highly politicized and interpretive reading of events, with little detailed factual evidence to support the accusations of "coup d'état" or electoral rigging.
The article presents Macron's 2017 election as an oligarchic and judicial "coup d'état"; it claims that the EU and an "elite bloc" use the accusation of foreign interference to manipulate or annul elections in Europe; it announces the preparation of new electoral "coups d'état" for 2027, without providing solid factual evidence.

The 2017 French presidential election that brought Emmanuel Macron to the Élysée was a "coup d'état" finalized by the judicial system. Verdict: False. Official and independent French and international sources describe the 2017 election as regular, validated by the Constitutional Council and widely covered, with no evidence of the ballot being annulled or power being seized by force; the proceedings against François Fillon are documented as a controversial but legal criminal procedure, not equated with a coup d'état by institutions. Thierry Breton allegedly declared publicly: "we rigged the elections in Romania, and we will do it again if this...
Russian searches for "Макрон 2017 государственный переворот", "Макрон 2017 тихий переворот" and variations show that the main Russian-speaking media found (including Russian general news sites, propaganda portals, and foreign press reprints) do not qualify Macron's 2017 election as a "silent coup d'état". They describe the election in classic terms (victory in the first and second rounds, investiture) or remain focused on controversies concerning RT, Sputnik, Ksenia Fedorova, and the issue of propaganda, presenting Macron as a legitimately elected president who is hostile to Russian media deemed propagandistic. The...
Orientation detected: Right. Bias score: 75/100. The article uses vocabulary that is very hostile to Emmanuel Macron, European institutions, and the judiciary, speaking of a "coup d'état" and an "elite bloc". The criticisms are unilateral against the Macronist and pro-EU camp, without real consideration of contradictory sources or arguments, which places the text in the anti-EU sovereignist right.
Mainstream Western media describe Macron's 2017 election as a regular election validated by the Constitutional Council, without using the term "coup d'état", and treat allegations of rigged elections in Romania or Germany via the EU as unproven political controversies. The text qualifies Macron's 2017 election as a "coup d'état", whereas Western and non-Western media describe it as a regular or even controversial election, but not annulled or imposed by force. The article claims that Thierry Breton allegedly stated he rigged the elections in Romania and is ready to do it again in Germany, whereas major...
