French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the French people this Wednesday, saying that the world is now in a new era in terms of security.
He said that tomorrow, at the meeting with EU leaders, the doubling of the budget for armaments in Europe will be discussed, as according to him, EU countries must show that they are capable of defending the region.
"We are in a new era. Security has reached a point of uncertainty. Tomorrow we will have a meeting with the leaders of the European Union and the European Council, to make some decisions."
Things that France has been suggesting for years, like the military budget, which should be for all countries. We need to work to have a better army and industrialize our region. Tomorrow we need to talk from this perspective, because we need to face the truth.
"We must be sure that the countries of the European Union are capable of cooperating with each other. We must take action, starting with France. We must achieve a doubling of the arms budget by 2030," Macron said.
