Jean-Dominique Giuliani : "Il faut arrêter le discours catastrophiste, nous pouvons nous défendre"

While questions persist about the European Union's capacity to ensure its own defense, the president of the Robert Schuman Foundation calls for a change of perspective. According to him, Europe is already engaged in a major strategic "turning point": "Europe was built to make peace; now it must be ready to preserve peace." Jean-Dominique Giuliani believes that European states have now moved beyond the "peace dividend" and possess credible armies to confront conflict. While acknowledging that efforts are still needed to improve their coordination, he insists: "We must stop the catastrophist rhetoric; we can defend ourselves," recalling Europe's role and its financial and military support for Ukraine. Regarding the European Union's place in the world, he asserts: "Europe will never be imperial; it was built against empires, against wars. It will never be expansionist. But yes, it is already a power." He then concluded: "It imposes its rules on Microsoft, but also on the United States in legal matters. The European Union needs to strengthen itself financially and in research to revive its growth, particularly in new technologies." » 🔴 To stay up-to-date on all political and parliamentary news, subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/publicse... 👉 Our website: http://www.publicsenat.fr ▶️ Watch all our replays: https://www.publicsenat.fr/replay 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/NewslettersPublicSenat 🚀 Follow us on social media: Facebook:   / publicsenat   X:   / publicsenat   Instagram:   / publicsenat   LinkedIn:   / 2996809   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/publicsenat.fr Threads: https://www.threads.net/@publicsenat TikTok:   / publicsenat
