Macron goes to see Merkel

Comment by Jan Oberg

Contrary to many media reports, I take a more cautious approach – until we see some concrete results in the wake of this meeting.
In addition, the two meet at a very problematic time for the EU – and it seems that there were a series of foreign policy issues that they did not even touch.
For the EU to re-invent itself, something much grander, more visionary than President Macron’s economic piecemeal approach will be needed.
So until further I choose to paraphrase Shakespeare’s Hamlet – “Words. Words. Words.”
