Following the G7 in Biarritz, Emmanuel Macron welcomed all the ambassadors of France to the Elysée Palace for their annual meeting. The opportunity for the Head of State to present the main orientations of French foreign policy. For the President, it must be part of a strategy to strengthen Europe's sovereignty on the international stage.
In front of the ambassadors , Emmanuel Macron sounds the alarm. The great geopolitical, economic and ecological upheavals are causing the collapse of Western hegemony. A tipping of the world order before which the Europeans must not close their eyes.
" If we continue to do as before, warns the head of state, then we will definitely lose control and then it will be erasure. We know that civilizations are disappearing. Countries too. Europe will disappear. And the world will be structured around two major poles : the United States of America and China. "
The French president insisted at length. To avoid such a scenario, it is urgent to work towards the construction of European sovereignty. A leitmotif dear to Emmanuel Macron already present in the European part of his election campaign . This sovereignty includes as much the defense of the borders as the industrial and numerical independence. Not to mention military sovereignty.
" Europe must become sovereign again in terms of defense," says the French president. This is not an initiative to challenge NATO. It is complementary, because it gives us room for maneuver and strategic autonomy. "
This sovereignty, in the eyes of Emmanuel Macron, can not exist without Great Britain being associated with it. And this, despite the Brexit .
