Faced with the virulent resumption of fires in Gironde since Tuesday evening, five European countries will come to the aid of French firefighters. Emmanuel Macron declared this Thursday August 11 on Twitter : “ Germany, Greece, Poland, and in the next few hours Romania and Austria: our partners are coming to the aid of France in the face of the fires. Thanks to them. European solidarity is at work! “. At the same time, the European Commission announced the dispatch of four aircraft from the EU fleet from Greece and Sweden.
Yesterday, in Gironde and in the Landes, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin had described the reinforcement of the means of fight, which now include ” more than 1000 firefighters, 9 planes and two water bomber helicopters “. Poland had announced that it would send 146 firefighters from Thursday to fight the fires in the South, after the call for help launched by France.
🇪🇺
Lets gooo boiz
Again with the help of other nations before ours. I know I will get downvoted to hell again but it’s the truth. We need every single plane right now and we are just giving it away for diplomatic relations. Why do we need to send planes and not a country with no fires? And if we don’t need them (which is not the case) why have firefighters from other nations help with the fires?
Thank you 🙏
That graph that showed that Romania would help all the countries from inside the EU and outside is actually true, apparently.

They went to Greece, Croatia (I think) and now France.
Thank you so much, euro bros!
