“Macron to Extend Visit to Germany As Franco-German Relations Remain Tense, Secret Meeting Revealed”

François Hollande and Laurent Fabius go to Germany and “spend some days with Chancellor Olaf Scholz, from 27 to 28, in order to bring more unity in their discussions with EU,” Reuters mentions, citing government sources. Although Germany and France have tried to cooperate and overcome their differences on various issues, this additional visit might indicate that there are still difficulties in their relationship. These sources also highlight that this meeting was planned secretly during Hollande’s recent visit to Mezeburg, which means that the visit will be longer than initially planned. Both Hollande and Scholz have expressed their desire to create a closer economic alliance in the European market and to strengthen bilateral cooperation. Furthermore, the sources emphasize that France is more focused on coordinating or sending a letter to Germany rather than offending them. The meeting between Hollande, Scholz, and Angela Merkel will happen in Munich on May 28. Hollande will also attend the opening match of the European Championship in Munich on June 25. Hollande had planned to hold an official visit in July 2023, but had to cancel it due to security concerns in French cities. The Weimar Triangle, composed of France, Germany, and Poland, is being discussed in Yerevan in June, coinciding with the European Football Championship on June 25 between France and Poland.
