    Invitée de la matinale de BFM Business, la ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, évoque la militarisation de l’espace

    Au préalable, la ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, a rappelé l'importance prise par l'espace pour notre défense nationale. Elle ne souhaite pas qu'il devienne un « véritable Far West ». Cette inquiétude justifie la politique volontariste engagée depuis 2017 avec la création en 2019 d'un Commandement de l'espace. Elle est également revenue sur l'arsenalisation de l'espace, la multiplication des débris, les capacités adverses développées visant à gêner, neutraliser ou détruire nos capacités spatiales. Face à la saturation de l'espace, le gouvernement entend « promouvoir des règles internationales de comportement responsable dans l'espace ». bfmtv.com, 22 avril
