A large crowd, certainly many thousands judging from video of the event on Twitter, demonstrated in Paris today with the slogan “Let’s Get Out of NATO,” many waving the Tricolor. MEP Florian Philippot’s video is captioned: “‘Let’s Get Out of NATO’ shouted thousands and thousands of French people this afternoon in Paris! Enormous! Long Live Peace!” (https://twitter.com/f_philippot/status/1578796463723020288)
In Italy, the popular governor of the Region Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, who is among the leaders of the Democratic Party, made a statement Oct. 7 against NATO. Taking distance from the war policy of his own party and of the Draghi government, De Luca made a strong demand that Italy stop being the passive appendage of NATO and take initiatives for peace, because, he emphasized, the alternative is a nuclear war.
