“France must be strong and command respect”: Russia, Algeria… When diplomat Macron lets loose
On the international stage, the French president is raising his voice. Long cautious about adding fuel to the fire in an unstable world, he is no longer mincing his words.
By Thomas SouliéVladimir Putin ? "An ogre at our doorstep ," Emmanuel Macron lashed out on LCI. Benjamin Netanyahu ? His "analysis is erroneous, abject, and will not go unanswered," the French presidency warned after the Israeli Prime Minister's letter in which the latter accused the head of state of "fueling the fire of anti-Semitism" in France by wanting to recognize the Palestinian state. The standoff with Algeria? "France must be strong and command respect," wrote the President of the Republic.
On all international issues, Emmanuel Macron is toughening his stance. As in La Fontaine's fable, has the lamb become a wolf, now considering that "might is right"?
