Brussels – He said it, and he did it: French President\u00a0Emmanuel Macron <\/strong>kept his\u00a0<\/strong>promise and,\u00a0in a video posted on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter),\u00a0answered some questions about the future of Europe<\/strong>. The head of the Elys\u00e9e\u00a0had delivered a nearly two-hour speech at the Sorbonne<\/a> on what should be the way forward for the EU. In\u00a0the end, given the importance of the subject and the difficulty of some of the topics discussed, Macron\u00a0invited French citizens to ask him questions on social media that he would then answer. There were many questions that the French President chose to answer — from the European agricultural policy to military support for Ukraine and lighter topics such as the future of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a video just under twenty minutes long, Macron answered some questions in a friendly but not superficial style. To those who ask why Europe is in danger today, the French President recalls the war in Ukraine and the fight against economic change; to those who ask about the advance of radical right-wingers, Macron replies that he does not stigmatize voters but politicians who play on people’s fear. On the critical question of\u00a0how much the EU does on agriculture, the President recalls, complete with graph in hand, how France is the country that has gotten the most money\u00a0from the CAP.<\/p>\n

After serious issues, there were answers\u00a0on lighter topics. A Shorts user asks the French president if the friendship pact between France and Germany is still in force. Macron answers in the affirmative in German by attaching a TikTok-style response in French from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz<\/strong>. Also relevant is the response to the question about the future of football star Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, who will leave PSG in the summer. Macron said he is counting on Real Madrid (where the PSG number\u00a010 will most likely move to) to release him for\u00a0the European Championship and the Olympics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
