French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe must escape from its self-imposed naivety or face the risk of dying. In a speech on the EU, he said Europe must react fast to survive in a changing world. “We need to be lucid, and recognise that our Europe is mortal. It can die. It all depends on the choices we make, and those choices need to be made now,” he said.
