It should be known that the French republican laws do not authorize the creation of royalist parties, whereas the republican parties can have a legal existence and profit, under certain conditions, of a public financing. This is the republican democracy in France!

It sounds a bit strange what you say here. As France is part of the EU and certain laws are common throughout the union, I don't think that "royalist" parties are forbidden just because they want to restore the monarchy. Even the Austrians have no problem with such a movement (and Austria's royalty has been treated far more harshly then the French since WWI).
Thus I wonder if the problem may not be the wish to exchange a presidential democracy for a monarchistical democracy, maybe the law does not want to allow for parties which wish to exchange the reign of the people headed by a president to a more absolutistic monarchy with a reigning king?
Just an idea - I would be glad to receive more information.
