French Lawmaker Pushes NATO Exit, Criticizes US Global Actions
French National Assembly vice president Clémence Gette submits a resolution on France leaving NATO, criticizing US policy on Venezuela, Greenland, and Gaza.
Clémence Gette, Vice President of the French National Assembly and a representative of the left-wing party La France Insoumise, has announced the submission of a resolution that calls for France to leave NATO.
In a post on the social media platform X, Gette argued that France’s membership in the North Atlantic Alliance-an organization she described as led by and serving the interests of the United States-has become an especially pressing issue. She said this assessment prompted her to initiate a document outlining a plan for France’s withdrawal from the military bloc.
Gette also delivered a sharp critique of Washington’s foreign policy. She voiced opposition to U.S. actions toward Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, objected to the situation surrounding intentions to incorporate Greenland into the United States, and condemned the American administration’s support for Israel during the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Her remarks came against the backdrop of recent events involving Venezuela. On January 3, the United States carried out a large-scale strike on the country, after which Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, were detained and taken to New York. U. S. President Donald Trump stated that the two would face trial in the United States on charges related to so-called «narco-terrorism» and posing threats to security, including that of the United States itself. During court proceedings in New York, both Maduro and Flores rejected all accusations, maintaining their innocence.
