French far left writes leaving NATO into its official presidential platform
France's far left has put withdrawal from NATO into its official presidential platform, according to Politico Europe.
France's far-left political camp has written the country's withdrawal from NATO into its official presidential platform, Politico Europe reports. NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the military alliance of the United States and European countries. The article's web address names far-left politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The source material available to the newsroom contains no further details on the platform. It does not say how the withdrawal would be worded, what timetable is envisaged, or how the platform's authors justify it. Those points are therefore not described here.
What is known is that the demand to leave the alliance is now an official part of the platform, not just a statement by individual politicians. The entry shows the foreign policy direction the far left is offering in France's presidential election.
