«Our Europe is mortal, it can die», and averting this prospect «depends solely on our choices. And these choices must be made now."
This is the warning launched by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, during his speech on Europe at the Sorbonne University in Paris.
The number one of the Elysée calls for the affirmation of a "Europe as a power" , to respond to the great challenges of the twenty-first century. Starting with a "change of pace on defense", added Macron, explaining that "the essential condition for our security is that Russia does not win the war of aggression against Ukraine".
Hence the need for a "credible" common defense. A "profound, essential paradigm shift for our Europe", he explained, calling for a "European loan" to invest in the armaments and defense sector.
