"Soldiers of NATO, go home!" Thousands March in Paris for Turning Bastille Day Into a War Parade!

Thousands of French nationalist demonstrators surged through the streets of Paris on Tuesday, turning the country's annual Bastille Day celebrations into a highly charged political rebellion against the European Union and military alignment with Kyiv. Led by Florian Philippot, the president of the right-wing Les Patriotes party, the "Frexit" marchers filled the Place du 18 Juin 1940 in Montparnasse, waving French national flags and chanting "Soldiers of Ukraine, go home!" to protest the unprecedented inclusion of Ukrainian military personnel in the official military procession on the Champs-Elysees. Philippot heavily lambasted French President Emmanuel Macron for inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO officials, accusing the administration of adopting a dangerous, "warmongering stance" that effectively compromises French sovereignty and primes the domestic public for active military conflict with Russia. The counter-demonstration exposed a deepening domestic fracture over Europe's collective defense strategies, with participants explicitly demanding that France immediately decouple its armed forces from foreign coalitions and halt its material involvement in the ongoing regional war.
