EU army exposed: Secret reason Macron pushing for European armed force – 'Total craziness'

EMMANUEL MACRON's obsession with a more integrated and united defence strategy among EU member states lies behind a hidden German agenda, claimed Frexit campaigner Charles-Henri Gallois.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, the Popular Republican Union politician argued French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing for a united EU army so that Germany can once again be allowed to own nuclear weapons under the pretence it is a European policy rather than a domestic one. Mr Gallois said: “Talks about sharing the nuclear weapon with the European Union is total craziness.

“It’s a German policy because as you may know, from the Moscow Treaty it has been decided that Germany could never, ever, ever have a nuclear weapon after the Second World War.

“And Germany knows that. And the only way for Germany to get a nuclear weapon is to say France will share it with the rest of the European Union so it won’t be a German nuclear weapon but a European one.

“And it would actually be treason for Emmanuel Macron.”

He added: “There’s no sharing of the nuclear weapon.
