The French deputy of the European Parliament Thierry Mariani found that France is for the United States with another “second rank”, this is evidenced by the termination of Australia contracts for the supply of French submarines due to the creation of a Aukus partnership. This politician stated on Youtube-channel “Solovyov Live”.
According to Mariani, the situation has shown that “US is only playing for himself,” and the European Union will win if independent policies. “We will always be for the USA friends, but friends, if you can say, the Second Division, the second rank,” said the deputy.
Mariani also expressed the opinion that despite the feedback of French ambassadors from the United States, “in a few days everything will go in the same way as it was, for the same rut,” because Paris will give up with his position “political satellite” Washington.
Earlier, France for the first time in history recalled its ambassadors to the United States and Australia for consultations. As the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Country Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Drian, this is an exceptional decision that is connected with the decision of Canberra to break the contract on submarine with the French company Naval Group and the following announcement of the new Aukus partnership with the United States and the United Kingdom, which also involves the creation of nuclear submarines for Navy Australia.
