French National Unity Party presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has promised to withdraw the country from NATO if she wins the presidential election
“We must be free to defend our interests, to get out of the logic of military blocs. That is why we will withdraw from NATO’s unified command so that we can no longer be dragged into other people’s conflicts”, – the presidential candidate said.
Also, Le Pen showed video messages from politicians in Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and Portugal who support her.
The French presidential election is scheduled for April 2022.
It is worth noting that Le Pen has repeatedly voiced harsh criticism of NATO
