Emmanuel Macron has called for a new political organisation to unite democracies on the European continent, as he warned that Ukraine would probably not join the EU for several decades.
Europe Day is a day to celebrate peace and unity throughout Europe. On this day, according to the official site, it is our collective duty to revitalize the European dream and re-invigorate European integration. COVID-19 has proven to us however that to protect the lives and health of citizens and preserve our economy, the European Union must take robust actions, proportionate to the dangers threatening us. Therefore, we call on liberals to join us in mobilising local politicians and civil society for a large pro-European movement on 9 May to celebrate European unity and peace. Emmanuel Macron used today to call for the creation of a new European political group with real power, with him ostensibly as its leader.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJB)
Every time the man opens his mouth to speak, he moves himself one step closer to the biblical man of sin that we have been telling you he likely is. In 2017, Emmanuel Macron said his desire was to "rule Europe like the god Jupiter", and today during Europe Day 2022 celebrations, Macron reiterated his desire to do just that.
Macron calls for new European body and warns Ukraine of EU wait
FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: Speaking two days after being sworn in for a second term as French president, Emmanuel Macron called for big thinking on the future of Europe, saying the war in Ukraine showed the need for a “historic process of reflection”.
Emmanuel Macron also said that Europe must learn from its past mistakes to ensure Russia is not 'humiliated' in peace negotiations.
He proposed “a European political community … a new European organisation [that] would enable democratic European nations who adhere to our values to find a new space for political cooperation”, listing security, energy, transport, infrastructure investment and movement across borders, especially for young people, as issues that body would tackle. Being part of this organisation would not exclude a country from joining the EU, and the organisation could include “those who have left” the bloc, he said.
Macron’s intervention comes as EU states clash on how quickly to move forward with Kyiv’s membership application. The question is likely to reach a crunch point in June, when EU leaders decide whether to grant Ukraine candidate status, a procedural step that normally takes years to attain.
Macron suggested he favoured a quick decision on candidate status, while dampening Kyiv’s hopes of a speedy entry into the EU. The awarding of candidate status is followed by talks on accession and a process of reform so that a country meets the EU’s political, economic and legal criteria.
“Even if we were to give it the status of candidate country tomorrow – I hope we move forward towards accession rapidly – even if we were to do that, we all know only too well the process for accession would take several years; in truth, it would probably take several decades. And that is the truth unless we decide to lower the standards for accession and rethink the unity of our Europe, and also partially the principles that we hold,” he said.
“The European Union, given its level of integration and ambition, cannot be the only way to structure the European continent in the short term.” READ MORE
