Für die schon länger angekündigten Erhöhungen des französischen Rüstungshaushaltes (siehe IMI-Aktuell 2018/039) liegen nun konkrete Zahlen vor. Defensenews schreibt: „France unveiled Thursday a draft of its 2019-2025 military budget plan, setting €295 billion (U.S. $361 billion) on spending […]. That spending plan compares to €190 billion in the present 2014-2018 budget law. […] A first phase consists of €198 billion in the present five-year government term, with defense spending rising €1.7 billion each year to hit €44 billion in 2023. That compares to the 2018 budget of €34.2 billion.“ (jw)
