By saying that he could not rule out NATO ground troops in Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron not only irritated his Western partners but also caused a stir in his country. Now the head of state wants to explain his position to the people in a half-hour TV interview.
According to reports, several broadcasters will broadcast the live conversation on Thursday evening from 8 p.m. Macron also wants to comment on the situation in the Middle East in tonight’s interview. The president last addressed the French people during a two-and-a-half-hour, live-streamed press conference in January. Macron has mainly courted right-wing voters with announcements about mandatory military service, school uniforms and more civic education.
Ukrainian politics is an important theme in the election campaign
Ukraine policy has become an important election issue in France ahead of the European elections in June. The government camp accuses the right-wing populist party Rassemblement National (RN) of being close to Russia.
The party had previously accepted a $1 million loan from a Czech-Russian bank. Studies show that the RN rate is currently up to 30 percent, which is way ahead.
