In France, extreme left and right candidates propose withdrawing from NATO, which could affect the French battle group in Romania. Despite this, military experts believe such a withdrawal is unlikely. Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party, France Unbowed, emphasizes diplomatic solutions and collective security guarantees. The French military presence in Romania is seen as a NATO decision, and any changes would involve NATO's assessment and potential replacement of French troops. Experts argue that economic interests and historical context make a full withdrawal improbable, suggesting that electoral rhetoric may not translate into actual policy changes.
