The President of the Republic is to meet Ursula von der Leyen to take stock of European issues and launch the French presidency of the EU.
What will Emmanuel Macron and the President of the European Commission say to each other, Ursula von der Leyen? The two leaders are to meet at the Elysee Palace for a meeting on Friday, January 7. During this interview, they will discuss the latest details and adjustments of the French presidency of the Council of the European Union. This function is prepared months or even years in advance.
Today is the launch of the last stage of the rocket. They will surely discuss the main French priorities: minimum wages in Europe, the reform of the Schengen area, or the creation of a carbon tax at the borders. But they will also discuss the major threats currently hanging over Europe. We obviously think of Omicron, but also of geopolitical tensions, in particular Ukraine. This presidency begins in the midst of a storm, explains the journalist of France Televisions, François Beaudonnet.
