Défense : Préparer la guerre, coûte que coûte

Are our armed forces sufficiently prepared, equipped, and funded? Senators debated the military programming law on Tuesday, which includes a €36 billion increase in the defense budget. €2 billion will be allocated to the purchase of drones, €5 billion to munitions, and more broadly, to increased logistical support. The issue of defense funding was at the heart of the debate on Public Sénat's morning program between two senators from the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Armed Forces Committee. For Jean-Marc Vayssouze-Faure, Socialist senator for Lot and secretary of the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Armed Forces Committee, this budget increase comes in a context of tensions with the United States under Donald Trump. He stated: "For too long, we thought the United States would continue to be a reliable ally capable of defending us if we were in trouble. We have realized that we must also find new partners and work more collaboratively at the European level." “For Pascal Allizard, senator (LR) for Calvados, and vice-president of the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Armed Forces Committee, we must also look ‘outside the European Union’.” 🔴 To stay up-to-date on all political and parliamentary news, subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/publicse... 👉 Our website: http://www.publicsenat.fr ▶️ Watch all our replays: https://www.publicsenat.fr/replay 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/NewslettersPublicSenat 🚀 Follow us on social media: Facebook:   / publicsenat   X:   / publicsenat   Instagram:   / publicsenat   LinkedIn:   / 2996809   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/publicsenat.fr Threads: https://www.threads.net/@publicsenat TikTok:   / publicsenat
