Macron calls for European debate on atomic weapons

First there was French President Macron's keynote speech at the Sorbonne University, where with the sentence "Our Europe may die" and the demand that Europe "impose respect", he caused widespread reactions. Macron's proposal to strengthen European defense was welcomed by German politicians. Now Macron wants a debate on the role of atomic weapons in European defense.

In an interview for the media group "Ebra" on Saturday (27.04.), Macron emphasized that he wants to open the debate "which includes missile defense, long-range missile capacities and atomic weapons for those who have them or who are on the soil of they have European atomic weapons". Macron urged, "let's lay it all out on the table and see what really protects us." France is ready to do more for European defense, Macron said. Since Brexit, France is the only nuclear power in the European Union.

The German-French project of an entirely new type of tank

Since the speech at the Sorbonne, Macron called for the strengthening of European defense, stressing that it depends on our decisions. He called for a "credible" European defense. Macron declared that the nuclear threat that France possesses is an "element of the defense of the European continent that cannot be avoided".

Meanwhile, on Friday (26.04.) after long delays, the project of a German-French battle tank has taken another important step in its development. The German Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, SPD, and the French counterpart, Sébastien Lecornu, signed in Paris a declaration of intent that defines the distribution of tasks between the concerns of both countries. "This is another important step," Pistorius said. It is not about the further development of current tanks, but about "something completely new"./ DW
