“THERE IS A RISK THAT EUROPE WILL DIE” Macron: The battle is far from won

FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron said today that “there is a risk that Europe will die” during an address at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

Macron noted that the battle to build a strong Europe is far from won and risks falling behind global rivals in the coming decade, Reuters reports.

Europe, as assessed by Macron, is at a tipping point and must do more to compete with the accelerated armament of its global rivals.

Macron noted that the EU’s economic growth model must change because the current one is not sustainable, and that the EU is lagging behind in a global context in which the principles of free trade are being questioned.

He added that Brexit was “an explosion whose negative effects mean that today no one should dare to propose leaving Europe”.
