French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, are visiting Germany to strengthen Franco-German relations amid political tensions. Macron played table soccer with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at an event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the German constitution. Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz plan a joint push to boost European air defense and call for more integration and less bureaucracy. Macron visited the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and participated in a wreath-laying ceremony with Brigitte Macron and the wife of Germany's president. He is expected to warn against the rise of the far right ahead of the EU elections during his trip to eastern Germany. Both leaders emphasize the importance of capital markets union and the need for Europe to 'wake up' to far-right authoritarianism.
