Macron's Push for National Service

President Macron aims to reintroduce national service in France, which raises questions about his qualifications since he has not participated in military service himself. The proposed national service is intended to foster social cohesion and civic responsibility among the youth. Macron believes that such a program could reinforce national pride and promote a sense of collective identity through interactions among young people from diverse backgrounds. However, critics argue that a month of communal living is insufficient for achieving meaningful social integration, highlighting the need for more substantial shared experiences.
