pretty typical macross speech because it really wide arching from from extreme details which he has a pretty impressive grasp on to his visions not only for france but for europe and yes also the world and his speech was probably strongest when he talked about those visions saying that the framework for a new world order had to be multi lateral lism and also cooperation and that already the europeans had the tools in hand the solutions for the most pressing questions and that they just have to decide to make use of them and that they had to decide that not in the near future but now inside when you're at the top of the show i made reference to both of these leaders as europe's power couple a lot of people saying that today merkel and mccrone were they singing from the same hymn sheet it very much so not necessarily in the same language of course president macross speaking english for a lot of his speeches as well as french and merkel sticks to german on these occasions but the broad lines of what they're saying of course about re-energizing the european project about cooperation and m
