“This treaty is historical,” said Emmanuel Macron in an interview with TVP Info. He mentioned that an agreement had already existed between Poland and France, but its provisions became out of date. – This treaty emphasizes the rapprochement between Poland and France at the economic, industrial, technological, energy, defensive level and talks about the common vision of the destiny of our Europe – mentioned the President of French. He added that both countries are aware and want Europe to become a geopolitical power.
– Poland has become an unpredictable subject in Europe, because it achieved great economic success in recent decades and invested a lot in defense – said Macron. He also mentioned cooperation and economic exchange between the two countries.
Emmanuel Macron also said that he is connected by a community of views with Donald Tusk about what we must do in Europe. – Your current prime minister is actually convinced that Poland is stronger in Europe and I think he is definitely right. I want the same for France – added Macron.
The President of French estimated that “sometimes Europe works badly and sticks too much to the rules, introduces too much regulation.” – Then our task is to say “stop”. This is what we do with Chancellor, Prime Minister Tusk and a few others – said the French leader.
Emmanuel Macron assures that France will help Poland in the event of an attack
Macron was asked by a TVP Info journalist, or if he can ensure that France will defend Poland if necessary. “Yes,” Macron replied and admitted that in the past there were two betrayals related to World War II. – When we woke up in 1989. It was distrust in Central Europe (…) I think we are closing it now. I am deeply convinced of it – argued the French leader.
– For a long time there were different levels of sensitivity in Russia. We did not experience the risk in the same way. I think that in February 2022 everyone said: now we are convinced, now we all agree that Russia is a clear and existential risk – added Macron.
– In the agreement we sign, there is Solidarity and that if Poland is attacked outside Article 5 NATO, except for EU treaties, then we give this two -sided treaty an operational character – he assured.
Fears in the US case. “Sometimes they can be unpredictable”
The French leader was also asked if he was afraid that the US would no longer help Europe. Macron assured that you still have to try to maintain good relations with America. – However, I find that sometimes they can be unpredictable and that their interests will not always be in line with ours – said the politician. He added that for the USA, America itself is the most important and then China.
The interviewer inquired about what would happen if Donald Trump decided to withdraw American soldiers from Poland. – In this case, we, Europeans, will organize activities to come to Poland – declared Macron. “If the Americans suddenly disconnected everything, we can't compensate for everything from day to day, it can't be done.” But we will carry out the necessary actions. So you should not be afraid of it – he added.
War in Ukraine. “I would like to thank the Polish families and the Polish nation for this effort”
The subject of Ukraine and talks on peace were also discussed in the conversation. – First of all, I would have scrupulous before the Polish journalist, if I said that I was a leader who fought the most in this matter. If there is a country that has done a lot, fought a lot and took a burden, it is your country. At the same time, when it comes to the number of refugees you accepted, which is by far the largest in Europe, I would like to thank the Polish families and the Polish nation for this effort – said Macron.
He admitted that at the same time Polish agriculture was significantly destabilized as a result of war in Ukraine. “There is a tension on your limit,” he noted.
Emmanuel Macron added that, together with allies in Europe, he tries primarily to suspend their weapons. -A 30-day suspension is a priority. The Russians must agree now. Not for three days to the delight of the crowd to celebrate May 9 in connection with the parade. NO. 30 days – said Macron. He added that if the first stage is achieved, we will “fight for an unwavering and long -lasting room.” – What does that mean? This means that the ceasefire will serve the Ukrainian-Russian conversation about territorial issues-he said.
