Macron's New Military Service Plan

French President Emmanuel Macron unveils new voluntary military service, aiming to bolster army numbers and counter Russian threats. The ten-month program offers payment and is not about fighting in Ukraine. Macron emphasizes the need for French people to understand their armed forces and demonstrates strength against threatening powers. The initiative comes after abolishing conscription in 1996 and follows concerns about a lack of will to fight. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
