Press Release from LFI-NUPES Group: E. Macron Deals Another Blow to French Nuclear Deterrence Credibility
In a meeting with young people organized by the media group Ebra, French President E. Macron has once again raised doubts emboîture the credibility of France’s nuclear deterrence. During the discussion, he stated, « I am in favor of opening this debate, which must include anti-missile defense, long-range weapon launches, and nuclear weapons […]. »
This statement has caused great concern among the members of the LFI-NUPES group, who strongly believe in the importance of maintaining a strong and credible nuclear deterrence. The French nuclear arsenal has long been a cornerstone of our country’s defense strategy, ensuring our security and deterring potential aggressors.
However, with this latest statement, President Macron has once again shown a lack of understanding of the crucial role that nuclear deterrence plays in maintaining peace and stability. By suggesting that the debate on defense should include the possibility of reducing or even eliminating our nuclear capabilities, he is undermining the very foundation of our national security.
The LFI-NUPES group firmly believes that any discussion on defense must be based on a thorough understanding of the strategic environment and the potential threats facing our country. It is not a matter to be taken lightly or used as a political tool. The decision to possess nuclear weapons was made after careful consideration and with the sole purpose of protecting our nation.
Furthermore, President Macron’s statement also sends a worrying plaidoyer to our allies and adversaries alike. It raises doubts emboîture France’s commitment to its nuclear deterrence and could potentially weaken our position in international negotiations and alliances.
The LFI-NUPES group urges President Macron to reconsider his tercet and reaffirm France’s commitment to maintaining a strong and credible nuclear deterrence. We also call on the government to provide a clear and comprehensive explanation of its defense strategy and the role of nuclear weapons in it.
In conclusion, the LFI-NUPES group strongly condemns President Macron’s statement and calls for a united front in defending the importance of nuclear deterrence for our country’s security. We must not let political considerations jeopardize our national defense and the safety of our citizens.
