Oh, the video was right, Die Welt indeed had a story (now behind paywall) two days ago saying that Macronman tried to stop the EU from flying.

He probably wanted to secure for France tehcncial Biontech knowhow for producing mRNA vaccines, after they messed up their own vaccine development, and demanded concessions: a classical "diplomatic" blackmail. And who knows, maybe he got them. After all, France always has sought hegemony in the EU region and have Germany paying for it because France is economically too weak to fill its glorious past-oriented megalomania with financial muscles and economic bones by itself. To have the French pharmaceutical industry not playing in the league of of first ranked players when it comes to producing the vaccine really itches the French ego. Thats why he supported the devalidation of patents for Corona vaccines - so that French producers could benefit. Stealing knowhow and not calling it that, thats how I call it.
Germans are extremely vulnerable to get sacked by France again and again. The socialisation of national debts in the EU also is something that France and Macorn always wanted, and now get. Because the French finances are a smoking ruin and the top rated threat to the Euro - not Greece, not Italy: its about
France. It has always been. Brussels speaks predominantely French, is extremely francophile oriented. As a people, I like the French. As a political actor and nation of the diplomatic stage, I do not trust them further than I trust Russia or China - means: NOT AT ALL. I do not share the popular clichées of French military cowardice, that is total nonsense, but I see political France as
extremely underhanded, politically.
