At least when it comes to analysing the situation, Macron is closer to reality than the German government, writes Gregor Waschinski, France correspondent for Handelsblatt:
“They still don’t really want to admit how much the future of Europe, and therefore also their own country, is at stake right now. … Not all of Macron’s plans for a ‘Europe of strength’ are well thought out. A European monetary policy reform that expands the ECB’s mandate to include growth and climate targets would create more problems than solutions. However, the president has clearly recognised the challenges of the 21st century – and is also willing to draw the consequences and act. Such levels of ambition are lacking in Berlin.”
