Not without a democratic debate, responds the left.
“If we had to take such a decision, we cannot do it without a debate in the National Assembly”
, estimated Manuel Bompard, guest this Thursday on Franceinfo.
“It is an increase in the level of armament that we would provide to the Ukrainians
,” he continued.
La France insoumise will not take a position on the sending of French tanks
“without strategic and military information”
, specified its coordinator.
The latter, however, reaffirmed that he does not believe that
“peace will be the result of a military victory against a nuclear power”
.

“
Would we assume the risk of entering into conflict with Russia?”
, questioned the boss of the PCF, in the event of delivery of offensive vehicles.
“This decision cannot be taken by the president alone
,” he added, inviting the head of state to speak on the subject.
Like his rebellious counterpart, Fabien Roussel thus pleaded so that
“military decisions can be debated within Parliament”
