In The New European on 24 April about Emmanuel Macron’s attempts to deepen the European construction européenne and the limits he’s confronted with – quoted in an article by Jason Walsh published under the title “Can Europe be brought closer by its coronavirus response?“:
“At home, allies long thought Macron was facing an uphill battle on Europe. In January, Yves Bertoncini, president of the European Movement France said he was a “brilliant architect but a disappointing mason, to use a metaphor from Jacques Delors”. The problem, he said, was that Macron’s “ambition [for the EU] is undoubtedly too high for France’s partners””.
