[Readings] The ball of illusions

(B2) In this essay, Richard Werly, correspondent for Blick.ch, and François d'Alençon, senior reporter and former head of the foreign service of La Croix, examine France's difficulties in existing between the desire for past greatness and geopolitical reality . Prisoner of its traditional ambivalence towards Europe, Paris oscillates between an agenda of national sovereignty and an agenda of European sovereignty, they write.
