The July 14 military parade is “the opportunity to see new military equipment” allowed in particular thanks to the military programming law voted Thursday in Parliament, according to General Yann Gravethe. This law grants a budget of 413 billion euros for the armies by 2030, an increase of 40% compared to the last military programming law.

The military programming law, “it’s helping to win the war before the war”. “Since the first five-year term, President Macron has wanted to increase the budget of the Armed Forces.
