Demonstrators gathering in central Paris to protest France’s membership in the European Union tear down the EU flag in a dramatic rejection of Brussels’ authority.
More than 1,000 people joined the demonstration on Saturday, which openly called for France’s withdrawal from the EU and the restoration of national sovereignty.
“This is a national march for France’s exit from the European Union, for the return of our independence,” Florian Philippot, leader of France’s Patriots Party and organizer of the rally, told supporters.
Philippot warned that the European Union is harming nearly every part of French society, pointing to farmers being forced into unnatural agreements such as the deal with the South American Common Market (Mercosur).

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ (IRGC) Intelligence Unit says Iran will consider the Israeli regime’s shelters “legitimate targets” if residential areas in the country come under attack.
In a post published on social media platform X on Tuesday, the IRGC said that any strikes on residential areas in Iran would give Iran’s armed forces the right to attack Israeli shelters in the occupied lands.

In a fresh wave of retaliatory strikes, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted the Israeli regime’s “secure” intelligence facilities in Tel Aviv.
The IRGC’s Public Relations Department said in a statement on Tuesday that it had carried out the 79th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against the Israeli and American targets.
Deploying powerful Kheybar Shekan, Emad, and Sejjil missiles alongside IRGC Aerospace Force kamikaze drones, the operation successfully breached the regime's multi-layered air defense systems, the statement said.
The missiles, it stated, targeted Israel’s intelligence facilities in northern and central Tel Aviv, as well as military commercial and support centers in Ramat Gan and the Negev.
The missiles also hit Israel’s southern military logistics and command headquarters in Beersheba.
