In a series of interviews, French President Emmanuel Macron has issued stark warnings about the future of Europe, emphasizing the urgent threats and potential for rapid deterioration of the continent's stability. Macron's comments, highlighted in a recent interview with The Economist, include warnings of 'sacrifices' ahead and the 'end of abundance.' He described a scenario where 'a civilization can die' and the end could be 'brutal.' Macron also criticized the complacency of Europe's elites and stressed the importance of waking up to the dangers posed by Russia, particularly if Vladimir Putin succeeds in Ukraine, which would devastate European security. He psychoanalytically framed the political challenge as a battle between Eros and Thanatos, urging Europeans to embrace boldness over fear.
