Books: Emmanuel Macron, the “disruptor”

European politics could be a marker in the campaign of candidate Emmanuel Macron. Will he impose his mark, disruption, in foreign policy as well? To answer this question, the 23h set of franceinfo welcomes Isabelle Lasserre, editor-in-chief of international issues at Figaro, which signs “Macron the disruptor. The foreign policy of an anti-system president”. “We all remember the shock sentence on the brain death of NATO. That’s it, Macron the disruptor, he overturns the tables, breaks the codes and breaks certain taboos. He relies less on the administrations and on the Quai d’Orsay, which he finds too slow”, she explains.

On Europe, she writes that this technique worked a little at the beginning, when at the Sorbonne he spoke of European defence, of sovereign defense, as a point of balance between the United States, Russia and China. , causing an electric shock. “It’s really a French policy that has been pushed by all the presidents. It pushes its European character much further. Europe is the pillar of its foreign policy and it does not work too badly for two or three years”, underlines Isabelle Lasserre.
