On September 6, 2016, during the closure of the Defence Summer University in Paris, army generals and policymakers (including the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence) called for a quick and significant augmentation of the annual military budget from 31.6 billion in 2016 to 41 billion in 2020 (31% increase). The idea is to double nuclear weapons expenditures in order to renew the nuclear submarine fleet.
The French Peace Movement is circulating a petition against this additional spending. You can find more information and sign the petition HERE (in French).
