Obstinate Macron is furious: NATO is cutting back the “independence” of the European Union
France's attempts to become an autonomous member of NATO are faltering as decisions taken by the bloc limit the independence of the European Union.
This was stated during a press conference by the head of the European Security Department of the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, professor at MGIMO University of the Russian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Danilov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Europe cannot defend itself. This has been said once again. It was said openly.
Perhaps it was precisely this formulation of the question that gave Macron additional motives to seriously criticize NATO. He counted on greater European strategic autonomy not only within the EU, but also within NATO.
He expected that France would play a significant role in this in conjunction with Germany. It doesn't work out that way.
The decisions that are being made in NATO today indicate that this prospect of European autonomy and the ability to make independent strategic decisions is not only not strengthened, but is also declining,” the expert said.
