Macron to present new French national service plan
- Announcing an overhaul of the SNU, Macron said full details will be unveiled on November 27 during a visit to the Varces military base, emphasizing the importance of citizen awareness of the armed forces.
- Amid growing Russian aggression, Macron framed reforms as responses to security risks following Volodymyr Zelensky's November 17 Paris visit and General Fabien Mandon's alert on November 22.
- La Tribune Dimanche says volunteers would be paid between 900 and 1000, with initial training targeting 2,000–3,000 recruits, scaling to 50,000 per year.
- The proposal revives debate over national service as Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu will soon engage French Parliament on defence bills, while Emmanuel Macron aims to boost army numbers and reserves later this week.
- Across Europe, governments are rethinking national service as Germany will require 18-year-old men to fill out a questionnaire from next year, with a note estimating 1.7 billion for 70,000 participants, not in France's budget.
