Macron will have been the grave‑digger of French influence. By establishing an Élysée monopoly on foreign policy, he marginalized the Quai d’Orsay and destroyed the diplomatic corps, its expertise, and all strategic continuity. By refusing the rearmament pivot proposed by General de Villiers, he also failed to give France the opportunity to become Europe’s protector. Results: reversals accumulate. In the Middle East, moving from a “coalition against Hamas” to recognition of the Palestinian state; in the Sahel and Africa, where humiliations and major failures are disguised as “voluntary withdrawal”; facing Russia, between leniency, threats, and gestures; on Mercosur, where impotence gives way to reversal; facing Algeria, falling into the trap of submission, and finally unnecessarily provocative toward the United States. France is now no longer seen as a solid, reliable, and credible partner, not even within the European Union. Where we could have built a Franco‑Italian partnership more aligned with our interests than the ineffective Franco‑German one, Macron rejected all of Giorgia Meloni’s offers of help. He even played against her, notably on the immigration issue that should have united our two nations around the shared Mediterranean issue. On the contrary, we remember the reception of the Viking Ocean and its migrants in Toulon… Now it is Germany that seeks Italy’s support to build the new engine of the EU, leaving France aside. Decidedly, both inside and outside, after Macron, everything will have to be rebuilt for France to regain its power, its place, and its voice. __📲 Share on X! 👉 Join Identité Libertés
