The rally, organized by Florian Philippot and his party The Patriots, called for France’s exit from NATO and the EU

A demonstration in Paris on Sunday held by right-wing politician Florian Philippot's Eurosceptic party denounced NATO, the militarization of Europe, and the French government’s military support for Ukraine.

During its summit this past week, NATO agreed to significantly ramp up military spending, citing the perceived threat from Russia. Last month, the EU similarly approved a €150 billion ($171 billion) borrowing mechanism to fund its military buildup. Moscow has dismissed notions that it harbors hostile intentions toward the bloc.

Sunday’s rally in the French capital had the stated objective of “defending peace and a Free France,” according to the party’s posts on X. The protesters also slammed French President Emmanuel Macron over what they view as his increasingly confrontational policies in Europe.
