Martin Schulz, the Social Democrat candidate for chancellor
in Germany’s election this fall, paid a visit to Paris with a message
for French President Emmanuel Macron: I’d be a better partner than
Angela Merkel.
In a speech at Sciences Po university on Thursday, the former European Parliament president called for a “new political departure, an impetus for the future.”
“Germany and France — not alone, but of course with other
partners — should be that impetus,“ Schulz said. “And I am addressing
the French president directly.“
“After the presidential election in France and the Bundestag election in Germany in the autumn, there is a time window that must be used,” he added, offering his support for a series of EU reforms proposed by Macron.
