PARIS – Thousands of demonstrators called over the weekend for France’s withdrawal from the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) and an immediate halt to arms deliveries to Ukraine.
According to RIA Novosti, the “March for Peace” kicked off near the site of the French Senate. The demonstrators waved banners saying, “Stop the war provoked by the United States and Nato” and “Freedom, Truth, Resistance”.
Many French internet users have posted photos and videos of the march on social media.
“Thousands of people are asking for (France’s) withdrawal from Nato, the European Union, and all the organisations that deprive us of our national sovereignty!” said one of the social media users, reported Xinhua.
An independent Lebanese geopolitical commentator Sarah Abdallah asked on her social media: “Why is Western media ignoring the anti-Nato protests happening today in Paris, France?”
This is the second march organised this year in Paris demanding France to withdraw from Nato, according to a report published by the website Solidarity and Progress.
According to the website, nearly 1,000 people demonstrated on February 26 for the dissolution of Nato. – Bernama, March 20, 2023
