After a hectic weekend in Europe, which included a meeting yesterday in London focused on the search for a common approach to the conflict, the deputies will be able to exchange views in the hemicycle with Prime Minister François Bayrou on the French position.

The debates in the lower house this Monday and tomorrow in the Senate are part of President Emmanuel Macron’s crusade to advocate European protagonism in the solution of the war and to convince within the borders of France, Europe and beyond that there is a Russian threat and a deterrent rearmament is urgently needed, including in the nuclear field.

In recent weeks, the head of State organized two conferences at the Elysée, one on February 17 in person and another hybrid (physical and online) two days later, participated the day before in the London forum convened by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, gave interviews to the media of various countries and almost daily addressed the subject.

His vision seems focused on mitigating the change of position prevailing since January 20 in the United States with the return to the White House of Donald Trump, who broke with the policy of his predecessor, Jor Biden, of supporting Ukraine and openly pursuing the military and economic defeat of Russia.
