| France-Germany: recapturing a sense of history 29/06/2023
"It is time to recapture a sense of history and rise to the challenges it presents", writes Jean-Dominique Giuliani on the occasion of the President Macron's state visit in Germany. He observes, however: "Never has the accumulation of differences between the two countries been so apparent. [...] everything seems to be working towards the division of Europe's two largest economies, which are still the "driving force" behind the European Union." |

Although there are still many uncertainties, we can no longer rule out the break-up of the Russian Federation as a result of the failed aggression in Ukraine.

| Georgia: a terrible dilemma for Europe 19/06/2023
At the end of the year, the Member States of the European Union must decide whether or not to grant Georgia the status of candidate country. If Georgia is granted candidate status, it will reward and strengthen a government that has every reason to believe it will continue its policy of breaking with the West. To refuse it would be to risk arousing popular anger with serious consequences. Régis Genté points out that the country has not yet fulfilled the 12 priorities set by the European Union. |
