Putin’s show of force in Moscow and
Macron’s speech in Strasbourg…
Two speeches, two leaders, but only one atmosphere: that of distrust. Vladimir Putin proclaimed that his army was fighting in Ukraine to defend “the homeland“against one”unacceptable threat“, during a speech on Red Square followed by the traditional and symbolic military parade on May 9, which marks the victory over the Nazis in 1945 and the sacrifice of millions of Soviets. For his part, freshly reinvested, French President Emmanuel Macron should take advantage of the symbolic date of May 9 and his visit to Strasbourg to boast of a more powerful Europe ready to reform itself to meet the expectations of citizens.The same day, he will then go to Berlin, reserving, as wanted tradition, the first official visit since his re-election to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. What should we expect from this visit? Can we believe in a de-escalation in Ukraine?
A highly contested agreement on the left, towards an influx of dissident candidates?
The union fizzled out. Only a few days after the agreement between socialists, ecologists and rebellious France, giving birth to the Nupes for the legislative elections, the discontent is mounting. Thus, in a forum in Le Monde on Saturday, three former MEPs, Jean-Paul Besset, José Bové and Daniel Cohn-Bendit accuse, with very harsh words, the leaders of the Greens of betraying the founding values of EELV. Criticisms already heard among the socialist “elephants”. A bad omen before the first round of the election?
