Did the war in Ukraine allow Europeans to find the cohesion they were looking for so much? The correspondent for France Télévisions in Brussels, Pascal Verdeau, evokes “an awareness, a dynamic that facilitated certain agreements“. Among them: the regulation of digital giants, which the United States has opposed until now. “The Europeans have understood that they have common interests to defend, what Paris sometimes pompously calls the ‘European sovereignty'”, he explains.

The snatch of a climate agreement a few days ago is also one of the notable events of this presidency, even if the European defense file, for which Emmanuel Macron pleads, n Little progress has been made, the Europeans insisting on the centrality of NATO.
