France follows in the footsteps of other European allies such as Germany, Belgium and Poland and recovers voluntary military service amid rising tensions over the war in Ukraine and the threat that Russia launches an attack against a NATO country. The French president, Emmanuel Macronmade the announcement this Thursday, revealing that the recruitment is aimed at young people between 18 and 19 years oldwill last ten months and will begin next summer.
Macron, during his speech from the Varces military base, in the Alps, assured that military service “It will be exclusively for volunteers”although it has left the door open for Parliament to authorize the recruitment of more young people in “exceptional circumstances.” He has also guaranteed that soldiers will only serve on French territory.
The objective is that by 2030 10,000 young recruits will have enlisteda figure that would rise to 50,000 in 2035. “Fear never prevents danger. The only way to avoid it is to prepare for it,” he warned, stressing that “in this uncertain world where force dictates the law, war is a present reality.”
He has defended this measure, saying that a new model is needed for the French Army and that France “cannot sit idly by” when “all our European allies are advancing in the face of a threat that affects us all.”
