Now it is a chorus in tune with the choice of Donald Trump. “We cannot be taken in non -compliance from the point of view of our security,” François Bayrou said, evoking the first of the four directions of government action, on Tuesday, April 15, after the first meeting of the Budget Alert Committee.
Given the policies of Rearme de China and Russia and to compensate for the new American position, the prime minister recalled that “the European Union has the imperative duty to build an autonomous defense.” This must be “the result of an immense shared and necessary effort” between the different countries. In particular, he highlighted the commitment of the new German government, which plans to massively increase its defense budget.
Additional 3 billion
François Bayrou Marea that “the question of collective security is a challenge” and that Europe is a turning point in this area: “It is our responsibility to face.” The commitments committed within the framework of the Military Programming Law 2024-2030, which provides a total of 413.3 billion euros during the period, remember, remember.
Then, the prime minister announced “an effort of some additional 3 billion for next year.” It is currently not specified whether it is an increase in the budget assigned to the Défense or if this sum corresponds to the march provided in the current budget trajectory. It was set to 43.9 billion euros in 2023, the defense budget increased by 3.3 billion years in 2024 and 2025 and has to increase to 50.5 billion in 2026, an increase of 3.2 billion euros.
