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?

      Because NATO doesn’t allow people yo have food or schools?

      I’m sorry, I do not even understand your argument, let alone agree with it

              Okay, but the French police are not part of NATO, they are municipal law enforcement, not federal military. That’s an entirely different argument.

                The police are attacking children because they are protesting. They are protesting because they don’t have teachers. They don’t have teachers because the money is going to the army. Money is going to the army because NATO demands 5% of the GDP. I don’t expect people to read the linked article but you can at least read the linked blurb, you know.

      That can be easily arranged by reducing the size of the retirement class, the biggest financial drain of most societies. Tax wealth and raise the retirement age.
