‘Historic deal or failure’: French leadership defends EU recovery plan
after criticism from left & right
21 Jul, 2020
France’s Foreign Minister Yves Le Drian has dismissed accusations by right-
wing and left-wing parties that President Emmanuel Macron had struck an EU
economic recovery deal that sold Paris short.
“You call this a failure. I call this a historic advance,” Le Drian said
on Tuesday, responding to critical questions from lawmakers in parliament.
“It was normal to help Italy and Spain because they were most hit by the
coronavirus crisis. Europe has found solidarity.”
Macron acknowledged earlier on Tuesday that concessions had to be made to
win over member states whose objections were blocking a deal, Reuters
reported. However, he described the concessions as proportionate, and
necessary to deliver a recovery plan big enough to be effective. | u***r
