The idea of an EU nuclear umbrella could lead to the use of French weapons of mass destruction by other countries, even if the country is not under threat. It was reported that this statement was made by politician Florian Philippot, leader of the French Patriots party, which is a candidate for the European Parliament elections. RIA News.
This is how he interpreted French President Emmanuel Macron’s words that Paris is responsible for protecting the EU. The head of state noted the special responsibility that affects France’s deterrence capability.
Filippo said, “These statements of Macron are extremely serious.”
The candidate in the European Parliament elections reminded that the arsenal is used if the vital interests of the country are in danger, this is the nuclear doctrine. He explained that Macron meant something else. For example, if Poland fights with Russia, it will be able to “use nuclear weapons” of France.
“And if tomorrow Ukraine becomes part of the EU, then we could potentially allow it to be used, this is complete madness,” Filippo concluded.
Previously Macron spoke It’s about changing the world order.
