General Fabien Mandon made this statement on Tuesday while addressing the mayor.

A statement that did not go unnoticed. At the Congress of Mayors of France, Tuesday 18 November, General Fabien Mandon predicted that the country should do so “accepting the loss of your children”. “We have all the knowledge, all the economic and demographic power to deter the Moscow regime (…) What we lack, and this is where you have a major role, is the fortitude to accept self-harm in order to protect ourselves”France’s top official said in a speech to mayors.

“If our country sinks because it is not prepared to accept the loss of its children, as there is so much to say, suffers economically because its priorities are focused on defense production, then we are at risk.”
