Emmanuel Macron

We have everything to succeed in this strategy.

it will be one of the elements of a more sovereign europe and a more independent europe i really believe it's possible we have a window of opportunity but it would be wrong to say that it's the case today it's to be delivered and i really hope we will be able to do so interesting you know you you talk about window of opportunity and that gets me to my last question that

Look,

What provides me a lot of optimism is the fact that more and more people are well-educated.

I really believe we have to do much more again, because still you have hundreds of millions of Canadians in this continent, in Africa, where we have to improve the level of education to allow them to have more opportunities.

But it never existed.

to have such a world where so many billions of inhabitants have this level of education and training.

And for me, this is a source of optimism because it means that you have a lot of young people with brain and enthusiasm.

and they will invent something better for sure.

I mean, for the world in terms of innovation, culture, and how to deal with climate change and biodiversity.

So I see that as a unique opportunity and to be cherished because clearly this is something we deliver during the past few years and still to be improved.

What scares me is the lack of

I would say, predictable and reliable framework in terms of defense and security.

I think we entered during the past few years into uncharted territories.

And the fact that Russia decided to launch this crazy war in Ukraine, having a permanent member of the Security Council of the UN,

with nuclear deterrence, deciding to launch a war, which is a 19th century war, meaning revising the border and trying to be in a sort of neocolonial approach.

It's totally crazy, but triggered a series of reactions everywhere.

And I think the fact that, yes, today a lot of big countries and big leaders seems not to see international order,

And the charter of the UN has sort of our common code and common rules.

And second, this race for more different equipments, arms and ammunitions is something very worrying.
