SPAIN and France’s leaders have pledged to make the EU an unbreakable force in the face of external threats.
Mariano Rajoy and Francois Hollande outlined their commitment to leading a ‘rapid programme of European integration’ to pull member states closer together at a press conference in Malaga.
Speaking at the Pompidou Centre, Rajoy said the EU would rise against ‘populism and anti-European feeling’ that some believe could threaten the continental project and would manage to avoid another ‘Brexit’ situation.
The comments were made at the end of the 14th Spanish-French Summit, which also focused on how to strengthen working relations between the two states.
“We must speak well of Europe and proclaim its values,” said Rajoy.
“Our objective is to be more efficient in finding results to the problems of our citizens.”
While Rajoy remained quiet on the subject of US president Donald Trump, Hollande made no bones about criticising his policies.
“The wall is not our model,” he said, before blaming the US for initiating the global economic crisis due to its “subprimes and financial deregulation that now they want to put back in place.”
In a thinly-veiled warning to supporters of Marine Le Pen, who is running in the upcoming French presidential elections, Hollande added that those who opposed the EU would ‘isolate themselves, end dialogues and, in the name of a false sovereignty, have less employment, wealth and protection.”
Rajoy highlighted his and Hollande’s commitment to work as ‘friends, partners and neighbours’ by collaborating in areas such as the economy and the fight against terrorism.
Rajoy will next meet with Hollande on March 6, where they will meet with the German and Italian leaders Angela Merkel and Paolo Gentiloni.
Hollande who the French see as a pathetic joke – a partly bald man who employs a personal hairdresser at the expense of French tax payers – €500,000 and counting. When questioned his attitude was patronising – time to get the guillotine out of mothballs methinks.
The two countries that will be worst hit with the collapse of the Euro and EU – that’s right France and Spain.
This is the good side of brexit. None of the EU countries wants to be the next Britain, isolated from the world and ruled by a bunch of clueless populistas
After Brexit the EU members are more united than ever.
Nobody wants to be the next Britain, isolated from Europe, isolated from the world, and run by a bunch of populistas
And of course tonto you have spoken with people from EU countries like I do, face to face here in France and by phone to friends in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain – you are a very unfunny joke.
Since you are a chronic monoglot, like the vast majority of british immigrants, I strongly doubt that you have “spoken” with “friends” from France, Spain, Holland, Germany or from wherever you want.
And let me tell you, you nabo x 1000000, if your “friends” have the same IQ than you, then their opinions are as insignificant as yours.
Hai capito bene adesso?
No?
And what did YOU expect with that negative IQ?
It seems the pelotudo extraordinaire is talking nonsense again, no?
Not a surprise.
Question is: how can a pelotudo who, like the rest of the british immigrants, is a chronic monoglot, talk with his german, dutch, spanish and french “friends”?
The probabilities are ZERO.
And the probabilities that such pelotudo have any friend is less than that.
What do you gain from all these negative comments Pablo? Do they make you happy? We live a short time on this planet dude. I don’t know what British people have done to you personally, but you should lighten up, we are actually quite pleasant people in general.
Peace!
