The article says this:
“Immediately withdraw from NATO’s integrated command and then, in stages, from the organization itself. Reject the tribute demanded by the United States of 5% of GDP devoted to defense spending,” read France Unbowed’s 222-page program.
However, France under Mélenchon would still provide assistance to European Union countries under EU treaties, the document added
Is Melenchon right? Is it better for the EU to be the organisation of mutual defence guarantees for Europe, rather than NATO?
That is a very strange position to take because LFI euro-députés engage very hard with the system. There are actual euroskeptics who barely show up, vote once a year and never bring anything to the table. But that’s not LFI, I mean Aubry is leader of the European Left coalition ffs, and they don’t bullshit around. Do you have any elements to the contrary ?
FYI the party’s official line is : “we stay in the Union & Eurozone but we might disobey some treaties if they lead to worse social or ecological outcomes than our local laws”. Happy to debate all day long but i don’t see anything fundamentally wrong with this position.
