I haven't seen anything that proposes France is mostly fascist, but the next election will tell us a lot, won't it?
Remember, during the Nazi occupation, the French Police were under orders of the Nazis. I don't think those arrests, which certainly happened, indicate political will.
As we say in this country, elections have consequences, and in France...we'll just have to see.
There were also many willing French anti-semitic nationalists (French NAZI's) that willingly rounded people up and celebrated the fascist Vichy collaborator government in Paris. They were not all just unwilling servants. Sure it wasn't the majority, but there were quite a significant number of willing fascists there.
