The French Parliament ratified the accession protocols of Sweden and Finland to NATO, by a vote of the National Assembly this Tuesday, August 2, after the historic decision of these two countries to renounce their neutrality because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The deputies adopted the text by 209 votes against 46 with the support of LR (right), the Socialist Party (PS) and environmentalists, the abstention of the RN (far right) and the vote against of LFI (La France Insoumise ).
Merci beaucoup!
Doesn’t France have somekind of a super sketchy upper house. Do we need to wait for their ideas?
French National Assembly has the lowest support for the NATO extension of all parliaments that have already voted on it.

Is there a reason as to why it is taking so long for Belgium to receive Royal Assent?
