French Parliament Backs President Nicolas Sarkozy on NATO Decision

Nicolas Sarkozy won a major battle in the French parliament on Tuesday when the national assembly voted 239 to 238 to back his decision to rejoin NATO’s military command.

 

Those who had opposed the decision claimed that a closer relationship with NATO would only weaken France’s independence from the United States yet Sarkozy argued that France already invests heavily in the organization and to not have a voice in its military strategy wouldn’t make sense.

 

France removed itself from NATO’s military command in 1966 when President Charles de Gaulle made the controversial decision.

 

France and Germany are due to host NATO’s 60th anniversary summit in Strasbourg next month.
