in the Ministry of Defense of France found it necessary that Paris remains in the NATO Alliance despite the situation with submarines. This was stated by the Minister of Defense of France Flores Parley, RIA Novosti reports.
The head of the ministry decided that France should not get out of the Union. “What conclusions we need to do after this situation (the rupture of the contract for the construction of a submarine – approx.” Tape.ru “)? To get out of NATO, slamming the door? I do not think,” said Parli.
Earlier, the presidential candidate of France, the leader of the French Socialists, Jean-Luke Melanchon demanded that the country would come out of NATO. The politician made such a statement against the background of a recent scandal due to the release of Australia from the contract for the construction of submarines with the French Naval Group, which the media called the Transaction of the Century. Canberra ruined a major contract with Paris for the sake of obtaining American atomic submarines.
