Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

A massive crowd of protesters marched through the centre of Paris demanding that France change its stance on NATO and the EU.

The demonstrators were holding a large banner reading ‘Resistance’ and ‘Frexit’ – a reference to a demand that France leave the EU.

According to videos published on social media, the crowd was chanting: “Let’s get out of NATO!” They also demanded the ouster of French President Emmanuel Macron as they marched near the parliament building.

The protesters denounced NATO “warmongering,” as well as economic “disruption” and “energy and health restrictions,” linked to the sanctions the EU imposed on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.

The unrest comes as France increasingly struggles to cope with the ongoing energy crunch, a major cause of which is the EU’s sanctions policy.
