Russian threat and « revolted innocence » – Liberation
Has an exceptional situation, exceptional reaction. Relieved to be screened far from the hexagonal political theater on which he has lost all credibility since his failed dissolution, Emmanuel Macron has taken on the role that goes objectively, that of European leader confronted with a major international crisis. We all remember the martial tone with whom the head of state had asserted his famous « We are at war » On March 16, 2020, in the midst of a covid crisis. He did not suspect when he would renew the exercise five years later almost day for day and that, this time, The expression would have a real military consonance.
« The Russian threat is there », Did he immediately assembled on Wednesday evening, before announcing new budgetary efforts And perhaps new reforms to increase French and European aid to Ukraine and strengthen our armies. « We will need choices and courage, he hammered, the serious mine, The moment requires unprecedented decisions. « It is clear that Emmanuel Macron has not spared his sentence, since the first signs of loose emitted by Donald Trump, to beat the recall of his European counterparts, taking advantage of the coming to power, in the United Kingdom and in Germanyof two men determined to make a common front and to give themselves all the means.

But this objective cannot be achieved overnight. « The solutions of tomorrow cannot be the habits of yesterday », concluded the head of state. Which suggests the worst for the French social model. On this ground too, blood and tears have hovered over the presidential speech.
