Boosting the German-French Parliamentary Bonds: Julia Klöckner's Inaugural Tour
- Give it a whirl!*
Julia Klöckner, the new President of the German Bundestag, kicked off her European travels in France this week, meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister François Bayrou. The discussions, Klöckner shared, lasted an hour and covered a variety of topics.
Macron was particularly curious about the pulse of the German populace, with a special focus on opinions surrounding further support for Ukraine, Klöckner disclosed. They also delved into the volatile situation in the Middle East, the European industrial fortification, and a united approach regarding the USA.
"The French anticipate great things from the newly-elected German administration," said Klöckner, noting Macron's close rapport with CDU's Friedrich Merz. Klöckner mentioned a recent surge in the dynamic between Germany and France, attributing it to a "new vigor" in their relationship.
During her private tête-à-tête with the President of the French National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, Klöckner touched upon the shifting landscapes of both their parliaments. The extremist groups have started gaining momentum, while the center seems thinner than ever.
Klöckner's Paris visit aimed to rekindle the German-French friendship by reviving long-standing city partnerships. She also hinted at addressing the closure of several Goethe Institutes in France, promising to address the matter once back in Germany.
Though recent discussions between Klöckner and Macron shed light on the renewed cooperation between Germany and France, specific details about the inter-parliamentary cooperation are lacking. However, the new German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has stressed the significance of the Franco-German engine for European leadership, and there have been extensive meetings between Merz and Macron discussing a profound agenda to strengthen their relationship and redefine their political alignment[1][5].
