French President Emmanuel Macron is currently in Berlin for a three-day visit, marking the first state visit by a French president to Germany in two years. This visit is significant as it demonstrates a show of unity between the two nations, especially in light of the upcoming EU parliamentary elections next month.
Upon his arrival, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier warmly welcomed Mr. Macron, emphasizing the shared commitment of France and Germany to defending freedom and peace. Both leaders acknowledged the importance of this year for European democracy and the need for solidarity among EU member states.
