The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Macron's state visit comes at the right time to underline the strength of Franco-German ties despite sometimes differing political views. Europe is not only facing internal threats from the rise of far-right parties but also global geopolitical shifts from the rise of autocratic regimes. However, Europe has the potential to emerge from these challenges stronger and more resilient if the electorate opts for the right political course to defend its values.

The Telegraph

Establishment-critical narrative

Macron's visit is meant to demonstrate alleged unity between the two major European countries. However, while Scholz and Macron project Europe's problems onto the far right, the electorate feels that their policies are increasingly detached from people's real concerns. Voters are not primarily concerned about European policy or the Ukraine war but about national security and migration issues and are likely to express their discontent in the European elections.
