MACRON AND KEY EU MEMBER STATES

Emmanuel Macron has not only campaigned as an unbashed pro-European, but has placed Europe is at the core of both his domestic and international agendas. Some of his key views are well known already. In particular, he has been an advocate of a Eurozone budget, managed by a Eurozone Minister accountable to a Eurozone Parliament. He has firm positions on Brexit, with a view to protecting the remaining members. He has made clear that he supports a more flexible Europe. He favours debt relief for Greece so as to keep Athens in the Eurozone.

MACRON’S REORIENTATION PROPOSALS FOR EUROPE

Based on Macron's Program 

Translated from French into English by CdF

Europe faces today a triple challenge: Accordingly it is necessary to take time for debate and reestablish trust, reaffirm the five dimensions of European sovereignty and reinforce European identity by concrete achievements.

Take the time for debate and reestablish confidence in Europe

The basis of a new European Union will be laid down at the end of a large citizen consultation at national and European level.

LE PEN AND FRANCE ON THE WORLD STAGE

General principles

Le Pen’s foreign-policy platform rests on a promise to rectify France’s loss of influence and power on the international scene: France as a sovereign power, France as a balancing power, France as a world power, and on the contention that these three concepts are no longer respected.

MACRON AND FRANCE’S ROLE ON THE WORLD STAGE

Macron has outlined a vision based on collaboration among four entities: the national forces, European treaties (with reciprocal protection clauses), NATO and the UN system.

NATO

According to him, it is not in France's interest to question its place in [NATO's] integrated military command, but that France will try to limit NATO interventions beyond its geographical reach to those cases alone which directly impact the interests of France.
