French far left enshrines leaving NATO in official presidential platform

Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party proposes to withdraw from NATO and nationalize defense firms in its new platform. The program calls for an immediate exit from NATO's integrated command and a gradual departure from the alliance, while rejecting the U.S. defense spending demands. Despite this, France would continue to assist EU nations as per existing treaties. This aligns with Mélenchon’s earlier statements.
