Basically what Eco said. Though I suppose if France wants to aid in one side of the civil war, they might want to side with the Traditionalists, as they're honor-bound to their allies as well. Their honor would dictate them to protect their allies (if France would acknowledge the Xylon Empire as allies if the Traditionalists won). If they believe that the Covenant would benefit themselves and France, then they would try to keep it lasting. But at the moment, they do oppose the Covenant.

On the other hand, the Militarists who have sided with the Imperium of War only want to see the Xylon Empire rise in power and glory, as it was pre-Annihilation. Thus, they would view the Covenant as hindering the Empire's progress to become more powerful, and would more than likely oppose no matter what.
