This isn't a problem that can be resolved by just calling people far right and carrying on unchecked.

The far right are a danger that needs to be contained. Calling them far right doesn't trivialised the danger - it announces it. This is not just a handful of far right nutters - it's a large bunch of far right French people. Pen is polling 26% at the moment - that's not good.

Ask yourself why so many French are moving to the right? This is the country that lurched to the left about 100 years ago.

Most people change their outlook based on their situation.

Oh it's easy. French are always revolting.
Anyway moving on, it seems that many of the signatories are retired and have kept their rank as reservists. And in common those who currently servr, they're not allowed to speak publicly on political (or religious) matters.
