Macron begins German state visit amidst European uncertainty
ai generated text
French President Emmanuel Macron embarked on a three-day, four-stop visit to Germany, marking the first state visit by a French head of state in 24 years. The trip aims to emphasize the historic significance of the post-war relationship between France and Germany, two key EU states. The visit coincides with the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings that marked the beginning of the end of German occupation during World War II. Macron's tour is seen as an effort to soothe the Franco-German relationship, which has deteriorated in recent years. Despite some reports suggesting a decline in the relationship, Macron refuted this notion, stating "That is not true. We are moving forward."
1 / 2
That is not true. We are moving forward.
France and Germany together have accomplished extraordinary things — they have been at the heart of this Europe.
Our Europe, today, is mortal and it can die.
Thank you Olaf! I very much agree with you.
Franco-German relations are indispensable and important for Europe.
But there are still fundamental gaps on major questions that are looming over the EU.
There is much from both presidents the stress from them about the need for European citizens to think very carefully when they cast their vote in the EU elections in a few weeks.
