Pierre de Gaulle advised France to join BRICS to gain independence
France needs to join BRICS in order to “free itself from subordination to the administrative machine of the European Union.” The grandson of the former French president, Pierre de Gaulle, said this in an interview with the Franco-Russian Dialogue association, TASS reports.
Joining the formation will allow the country to have an alternative to NATO tutelage and stop being dependent on the British financial market, de Gaulle said. By joining BRICS, the country, thanks to its historical heritage, could take “its rightful role as a world power” in the association, he believes.
The grandson of General Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970) also spoke critically of the United States, noting that the sanctions they imposed led EU countries to economic recession and energy problems. In his opinion, European countries cannot do without cooperation with Russia.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the possibility of including France in BRICS. Paris can submit an application for membership if it has the appropriate desire, it will definitely be considered, he said. The head of state also recalled that in 2024 Russia will act as chairman of the association. This year the number of BRICS members has reached ten.
