Самый титулованный дзюдоист мира поборется за пост президента Франции

According to Belta, a left-leaning French presidential candidate, speaking at a large rally in Le Bourget, a Paris suburb, said France has no role in NATO or in American wars. He pledged that if elected he would take the country out of the alliance, and said Paris would take an active part in arms-reduction negotiations during his term.

Sputnik and Korrespondent report that a judoka, called the most titled in the world by Sputnik and a five-time Olympic champion by Korrespondent, has announced a run for the French presidency as successor to Emmanuel Macron. Sputnik says the election is set for April 2027, with a May runoff if no candidate passes 50% of the vote. The reports do not state whether this candidate is the same person as the Belta figure.
