11:42 : “European construction is based on three great promises, a promise of democracy, which was born on our continent and has been revived there over the past 70 years, a promise of progress shared by all, and a promise of peace. It has kept these promises for seven decades, but (…) the current turmoil we are experiencing is shaking these three promises.”
11:40 a.m. : “This Europe has held the helm firmly during the pandemic, whether it’s vaccines or economic recovery.”
11:39 : Hello @kat. Emmanuel Macron’s opening remarks should last about twenty minutes. He will then answer questions from MEPs.

11:33 am : It’s time for Emmanuel Macron’s big oral before the European Parliament, it’s to follow in our live.
11:28 : What will Emmanuel Macron say to MEPs? Politico (article in English) has an idea, or more exactly an idea of what the French president will not say during his speech. To start with “Good morning”, to mark its attachment to the language of Molière.
11:26 : If you see a sparse European hemicycle, don’t jump to conclusions. There is a gauge in force in Strasbourg, so the stands will not be full.
11:20 a.m. : Emmanuel Macron signs the European Parliament’s guestbook. Remember that he has already made a horrible feast of ortaugraf in this exercise, beware of the misplaced shell 🙂

10:19 : ?[ACTION] @EmmanuelMacron is guilty of climate sabotage! We are in front of the European Parliament to denounce its disastrous #climate and social record, while the president comes to inaugurate the #PFUE2022. We show his true face ?#MacronGuilty
