Anne-Marie Le Gloannec considers that Germany is more European than before

Anne-Marie Le Gloannec, French director of research at the Center for International Studies and Research (CERI), recently published a work entitled 'Berlin and the world'. In an interview with Dominique Berns she considers that the German view of Europe has changed. "The Germans - I mean public opinion - now have a vision that is more French than before. This is rather interesting at a time marked by a Franco-German rift. German public opinion has distanced itself from the United States. For the most part, it considers that France is Germany's best friend, that the EU should have common foreign policy and that Europe should act as a counter-point to the United States, which was really a French idea to start with. Thus Germany has become more European when it comes to ideas and feelings."
