France welcomes Germany’s new ‘pro-European’ coalition agreement

  1. *“It is very positive what is happening in Germany,” French MEP Valérie Hayer, the new co-chair of the French delegation of the liberal Renew Europe group in the European Parliament, told EURACTIV.*

    *Hayer welcomed the “renewed dynamic of the Franco-German couple”, adding that “it has not always had the support it had hoped for from its historical partner”.*

    *“France is once again ambitious on the European scene,” she said.*

    *The French foreign ministry also indicated that it wanted to “work quickly with the next German government.”*

    European integration will be pushed by France but also Germany again. Interesting times ahead.

  2. > [..] energy ministry foreseen in the coalition agreement will go to the Greens, who Maurice noted are “still very much opposed to nuclear power.”

    > This is to the delight of the German Greens’ counterparts in France.

    > “I am waiting for this government on taxonomy. It’s very important that it works against the French, that it puts pressure on them to exclude nuclear power,” Greens MEP Michèle Rivasi told EURACTIV.

    Well, France’s Greens’ are anti-vax ; More precisely: #2 Michèle Rivasi openly is, as well as being pro-Homeopathy and advocating that Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a thing.

    Make of that what you will.

  3. “Measure co-financed by the european union”
    No offense OP, but generally i don’t like my news to be skewed like that.

    That being said: Even among the other parties there is just one that i would peg as “anti-European”. Just very different flavours

  4. Always words words words. Let’s see some action.

    Romania and Bulgaria in Schengen as they have proven time and time again that they meet all the criteria.

    Lift the ability for 1 nation to cover for another’s transgressions so that Poland with Executive meddling with Judiciary, and Hungary with their absurd level of EU funds theft, corruption and backdoor to China cannot cover for one another continuously.

    Enforce the EURO convergence Criteria. Sweden is in the EU since 1995 with an obligation towards joining the Euro, yet slightly bends the criteria in their favour to avoid adopting the euro. Poland and Czech Republic to follow.

    Address Vucic’s powergrab and stop being his friend. Actually hit him with the stick a few times so he stops being a blatantly corrupt asshole.

    Foot down on Brexit. No more extensions. Don’t give the Tories any more stupid fodder.

    Retire Strasbourg. It’s a waste of money and France is set to be co-lead of the EU anyway as Italy has fallen back on EU matters.

    Last thing to touch upon is Cyprus. Feels like there’s been absolutely fuck all progress since they joined the EU.

  5. The title’s triggering me. Like is the EU just a Franco-German alliance? One never hears Spain or Italy deciding anything ever, hm? Merkel and to a lesser extent Macron ruled the EU. No wonder the UK got pissed off and left despite any benefits like easier travel and wider job market. ^(Btw I hate Russia, China and the USA equally, not a troll.)

  6. > If climate is THE priority in Europe, nuclear is out of the question

    But why? That makes no sense, the main line against nuclear is the fearmongering about incident, incidents that still have no effect over the climate.

    Fucking ignorants gaining so much power is mind boggling.
