Macron: France and Europe have entered a wartime economy, Europeans need to adjust
On the 13th local time, French President Macron attended the European Defense Exhibition in Paris and delivered a speech. He said that France and Europe have entered a wartime economic state, and in the long run, Europeans need to adjust to this.
He stressed that everything has changed and that in the current state of the economy, Europeans can no longer live in the same rhythm and way they were a year ago.
In this economic state, Europeans need to progress faster, thinking differently about the pace and pressures of life, in order to restructure the necessary resources more quickly for European militaries and allies.
In his speech, Macron said he had asked the French defense minister and chief of staff to reassess the 2019-2025 defense planning law in order to deal with existing threats.
At the same time, he called on the EU to establish a defense industry and innovation strategy to make European defense stronger and more independent.
