Macron and Scholz 'think quite alike when it comes to Europe' • FRANCE 24 English

FRANCE 24 is joined Joseph de Weck, 'Author of Emmanuel Macron: Der revolutionäre Präsident,' and he finds the similarities between French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz quite striking: "European serenity" has been a key theme for both leaders, yet they are both willing to take risks and "believe that crises are, to some extent, also moments where you can break taboos and make integration steps forward."

All French and European citizens are very happy. 🇫🇷🇪🇺

[chad_mackinson]

Yeah. EU army. French uniform designs, plus German engineering! Cool.

[juliane__]

As expected, let's reform and build Europe together.

[mando_dablord]

If the EU is to continue existing in the future, everyone needs to tackle fundamental flaws that have been festering for years. Politicians can talk all they want of European unity, but it doesn't mean anything if nothing changes.

I’m not sure about a European army. I think countries will want their own.

[AahFukIt]

Yes the do, both schooled by Klaus Schwab.

[agarwalamit]

Definite Europe geographically first and define who is European.

With all due respect, the last time these two were involved in peace negotiations we ended up with Minsk II and we all know how iron clad that was. Obviously things have changed because of Russia's invasion, but I am weary that Putin will just play these guys like a banjo again

[islandbirdw]

All those tiny countries with such divergent priorities makes it difficult to act in unison.

[zdenekoldrichmarek]

WECK France has nukes UK has nukes? Also Putin is slowing down on the war in Ukraine?

[joytekb]

Of course .But different to Ukrainian, Polish and American.

[enigmaticloremaster]

But I'd still like to kiss like they do on main street

What if you die today will you go to heaven? Have you ever lied, stolen used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? According to God's law, you're guilty, ignorance will not be an excuse... But wait, God loves you, he made a way out. God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please think about your eternal life, believe and repent, even after rapture you can be saved. Love Y'all

[ramonng]

If France elected Le Pen, Ursula would look.and sound like a girl scout...

[billybonecollector]

Get Uncle Sam out of Europe. Only then will 🇪🇺 see peace. Russia will not be peaceful until Uncle Sam isn’t up against its borders.

[enigmaticloremaster]
