His Brexit journal “
La grande illusion
” has just been published by Gallimard editions.
Former Minister of European Affairs and Foreign Affairs, former European Commissioner, Michel Barnier is undoubtedly, on the right, the most European of all to the point of appearing isolated in his party "The Republicans" of which he nevertheless remains a faithful.

What is his vision of France in Europe and of Europe in the world?
