French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Europe to step up and start acting like a world power during his speech at the Munich Security Conference. Macron emphasized the need for Europe to be more assertive on the global stage, particularly in the face of challenges posed by Russia, China, and the United States.
Macron expressed concerns about the US under President Joe Biden, urging Europe to not always rely on American backing for its security. He highlighted the importance of European strategic autonomy and the need for the continent to strengthen its defense capabilities. Macron also proposed the idea of a European Security Council to coordinate the foreign and defense policies of EU member states.
The French President’s speech comes at a time when Europe is facing numerous geopolitical challenges, including tensions with Russia, human rights issues in China, and conflicts in the Middle East. Macron’s call for Europe to assert itself as a world power reflects his vision of a more independent and influential European Union on the global stage.
Macron’s remarks have sparked discussions among European leaders about the continent’s role in international affairs and the need for a more united and decisive approach to common challenges. It remains to be seen how his call for Europe to embrace its role as a world power will be received by other EU member states and how it will impact the future of European foreign policy.
The Munich Security Conference provided a platform for Macron to outline his vision for Europe’s place in an increasingly uncertain and complex world. His speech has reignited the debate on Europe’s strategic autonomy and its ability to shape global events in line with its interests and values.
