Sounds like a great speech and I would guess it’s part of Macron’s strategy of positioning himself as the new Merkel in advance of the French elections.
But what are the chances of much of this optimistic agenda becoming reality? The EU members seem to struggle to agree on even trivial things.

Macron knows how to talk and is hugely intelligent but often doesn’t follow through. ‘He likes to please (plaire), while I act (faire)’ observes his principal opponent Valerie Peceresse who has been described as une dame de fer (à La Thatcher) but says she prefers ‘dame de faire….’

Interesting. Looks like I’ve not read the best parts of Nietzsche, I didn’t know he could be so sensible.

Macron is an awful eejit.
Thanks for the interesting read
