In mid-January, French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to fulfill his campaign promise to introduce compulsory military service in the country. According to Macron's national service program, conscripts will be allowed to carry service not only in military units but also in civilian organizations that directly or indirectly linked to ensuring security or public order in the country.
