French President Emmanuel Macron recently announced €2 billion more in arms for Kiev.
Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Paris on Saturday, protesting French President Emmanuel Macron’s and NATO’s militaristic approach to the Ukraine conflict.
On Wednesday, Macron announced a new €2 billion ($2.16 billion) military aid package for Ukraine, after weeks of attempting to drum up support for his initiative to send Western troops as peacekeepers to the country. The new arms will include surface-to-air missiles, armored vehicles and drones, the French leader said.
Saturday’s anti-war rally was organized by former right-wing National Rally politician Florian Philippot and his party, The Patriots.
Thousands of protesters could be seen marching through the French capital, chanting slogans such as “Macron, we don’t want your war!” and “Let’s quickly leave NATO!” in video captured by RT.
Incroyable !
Un monde fou pour la #Paix à l’appel des Patriotes ce jour !

Many could also be seen waving placards with the motto “Macron, we will not die for Ukraine.”
“A mad crowd for #Peace… Thousands and thousands of French people are shouting ‘Macron, resign!’ in the streets of Paris right now!” Philippot wrote on X on Saturday.
The Patriots protested in the French capital earlier this month after Macron proposed deploying France’s nuclear weapons in other European allied states, citing uncertainty over Washington’s commitment to the continent.
On Thursday, following an international summit in Paris, Macron announced a French-British plan to push for the deployment of troops to Ukraine as a “reassurance force” in the event of a ceasefire between Kiev and Moscow. Macron first touched on the idea of sending Western troops into Ukraine last February.
Russia has categorically ruled out agreeing to NATO troops being deployed to the conflict zone. Troops from the US-led military bloc, even under the guise of peacekeepers, would amount to direct NATO participation in the conflict, according to Moscow.
It has never been more needed than now for countries leaders to be assassinated, especially Macron and Starmer.
Maybe throw Luxon in.
François Asselineau, a much more interesting political figure had already organized last thursday demontration for peace.
Asselineau created a party ( UPR.fr) in march 2005 which aims at ” frexit” , return to own currency ( thus leave €) and departure of NATO.
He has been a civil servant for many years and served at high level ( ministerial cabinets) in different legislatures.
Erudit an well versed in history, not only French, but world history, he is the first politician wanting to leave the nefarious EU, return to own currency end leave NATO.
Philipot is a pale immitation .
Asselineau has been totally ostracized by all French media, on purpose as leavibg EU and NATO are tabou subjects in France and Europe, but he publishes regularly video on youtube which are becoming extremely popular as people share them.
Worth watching for people interested in French politics. ( online at upr.fr)
The man himself is extremely intelligent and very interesting. Few politicians have this intellectual level. Poutine has.
