François Hollande

It was a privilege and an honor to welcome François Hollande, former President of the French Republic, to the Cercle des Européens on March 11, 2024, for the publication of his book "Bouleversements: Pour comprendre la nouvelle donne mondiale".

In the presence of numerous personalities, including ambassadors to France from European Union member states, the former President gave a masterly overview of the international situation and the threats facing democracies, including our own. Without giving the impression of overestimating these threats, he stressed that it was the duty of political leaders of democracies, particularly today, not to hide the truth: on the war in Ukraine, i.e. on our doorstep, on France's own responsibilities in the event of the need to apply Article 5 of the NATO treaty, on EU/Africa relations, on transatlantic relations and China, on terrorism, on the outcome of the war in Palestine following the massacre perpetrated by Hamas, or on the economy, decarbonization of industry, technological progress and social redistribution. He also spoke of the rise of populism and the European elections scheduled for June 2024. His lucid analysis of the situation and determination won over the audience.
