New book claims Emmanuel Macron has secret bunker outside Paris

French President Emmanuel Macron has a secret bunker outside Paris to hide in if rioters attack the Élysée Palace, according to a claim in a new book reported by the Daily Mail. The sanctuary in the Paris suburbs is detailed in La Nouvelle Armée des Ombres, a book authored by investigative journalists Pierre Gastineau, Antoine Izambard, and Franck Renaud. [1]

The claims surface as nationwide protests hit France. The Daily Mail reported that demonstrators are demanding higher wages and supporting a student protest movement that started over staff shortages and education funding. French unions and student groups planned further street protests on Saturday. [1]

Macron has served as President of France since 2017. The Élysée Palace, located on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, is the official residence of the French president. [2][3]

The latest claims follow ongoing civil unrest across France. As FTMQ News reported earlier, violence previously escalated from protests over education funding, resulting in police detaining more than 2,400 rioters. [7]
