By the way, he mocked the United States and Macron delivered a tough speech
According to the German news television channel website on August 29th, French President Macron announced the country's aggressive foreign policy for the next few months. Macron delivered a two-hour speech to the French ambassadors gathered together at the É lys é e Palace in Paris. In his speech, Macron said, "Don't be paternalistic or weak, otherwise we will no longer exist anywhere."
In addition, Macron also emphasized France's firm attitude towards the new military rulers of Niger - despite an ultimatum issued by the Niger authorities, he announced that he would continue to allow the French ambassador to stay in the country.
According to reports, Macron told the French ambassadors that given the international political environment, the current "world order in which the West plays a prominent role is increasingly being questioned", the international background has become "more complex", and there is a hidden risk of "the West being weakened, especially Europe being weakened".
Macron reiterated France's firm stance on the situation in Niger, which has been going on for about a month since the military launched a coup. He said that some people claim that Paris has "too much" support for the overthrown President of Niger, Mohammad Bazum. "If there is a coup in Bulgaria or Romania, what will we do?" He said that France "will not use double standards.".
Macron also said that French Ambassador Silvan Itay ignored the ultimatum issued by Niger's rulers on the 25th and remained in Niger. He stated that France's policy is clear: "We do not recognize councilors." Macron mocked the United States and many European countries, including Germany, on this issue in his speech. Macron said, "Some people tell us that allowing collapse to happen is the right policy because it aligns with popular trends."
The governments of Washington and other European countries, including Berlin and Rome, have repeatedly expressed their support for resolving the crisis through diplomatic means in Niger. But France is prepared to support military intervention - if the Economic Community of West African States decides to do so.
