We must "avoid passively accepting the law of the strongest that leads to vassalization" and the "politics of blood" and accepting "a new colonial law makes no sense."
French President Emmanuel Macron speaks at the World Economic Forum in Davos wearing his now-signature sunglasses: the head of the Elysée Palace suffers from a "benign" eye condition, as he himself stated. He will be "forced to keep them" for some time.
Glasses aside, Macron is clear: " We are reaching a stage of instability and imbalance for both security and the economy ," with " over 50 wars," "even though they tell me some have been resolved," he added, poking fun at Donald Trump, who boasted of having ended eight wars. "A transition to a world without rules where international law is trampled upon and imperial ambitions are resurfacing," Macron emphasized. In this scenario, "new tariffs are unacceptable, especially if used as leverage against territorial sovereignty."
For this reason , France and Europe must "defend effective multilateralism," and "we must not forget what we learned from the Second World War." Macron emphasized that, as the current president of the G7, France's "ambition" is to restore the G7 as a "forum for dialogue." Furthermore, we must address "global imbalances," and "we must all put them on the agenda." As the G7, "we must create a framework for cooperation to address the roots of these imbalances" through "multilateral collaboration."
