"WAKE UP EUROPE!": France and Greece Renew Mutual Defense Pact, Athens Arms for War |Times Now World

Описание: French President Emmanuel Macron and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis officially renewed their bilateral defense and security pact on Friday, adding a landmark "automatic renewal" clause that deepens military ties between the two Mediterranean powers. Speaking from Athens, Macron delivered a blunt assessment of the global order, warning that Europe must achieve "strategic autonomy" as it faces a unique moment where the U.S., Russia, and China are increasingly at odds with European interests. The agreement reinforces a mutual assistance clause that compels both nations to provide military aid if the other is attacked, a commitment that Athens is backing with a rapid defensive buildup. This includes the recent deployment of Greek Patriot missile systems to Bulgaria and the integration of advanced Rafale fighters, positioning Greece as a fortified "shield" for the European Union's southeastern flank amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
