Macron calls NATO ‘an organization that no longer exists’

French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized the fight against NATO, as this organization is no longer relevant, “QİA.AZ” informs, referring to the Financial Times.

“NATO still needed to be reinvented. Nobody can tell me that today’s NATO is a structure that, in its foundations, is still pertinent. It was founded to face down the Warsaw Pact. There is no more a Warsaw Pact,” he added.

“We continue sometimes to fight against an ideology or an organization that no longer exists with a geopolitical logic that no longer exists and that has continued to fracture Europe,” Macron told the Financial Times.

Meanwhile, the UN Security Council ‘no longer works’ as a means of resolving big regional crises, he said. Its permanent members were ‘mad’ to have allowed it to be displaced by competing regional formats. A revived council could become a way of avoiding an escalation of tensions between the US and China — but Macron was not sure whether China would co-operate.
