"It is a visit, it is a state visit, also a bit of a farewell visit, but indeed a visit in damn difficult times." The Federal President then spoke a lot about shared times, about their common farewell as presidents, and about nostalgia. "The Germans will also remain good Europeans despite everything that changes in our country, economically, politically, especially in security policy." It is all the more important, Steinmeier said in Paris, to assure the French neighbors: "The Germans will also remain good Europeans despite everything that changes in our country, economically, politically, especially in security policy." "Germany can only be successful as a European Germany, closely embedded in the European Union." Germany, that is and remains his conviction - not only until his last day in office but also beyond - "Germany can only be successful as a European Germany, closely embedded in the European Union," Steinmeier said. #Steinmeier #Macron #Frankreich (translated)

"It was nothing less than a miracle, as he laid the foundation for reconciliation between our countries, the two great countries in the heart of Europe, which had faced each other for many centuries as rivals, indeed as bitter enemies." Steinmeier speaks of a "visit in terribly difficult times," mentioning the geopolitical changes that bring so many challenges. #Steinmeier #Macron #Populismus (translated)

"We know that this is as much a phenomenon of East Germany as it is of West Germany. It concerns all of us. In a situation where many voters in East German federal states have turned to political extremists, we should not lose sight of other indicators either. According to polls, extremists may receive the highest number of votes in absolute terms specifically in West German federal states. So what remains to be done?" said President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. #Saksamaa #UkrainaSõda #Venemeelsus (translated)

"The unbearable political demagogy of extremist forces, who revel in destruction and mock and threaten others, not only endangers freedom and democracy – it endangers our internal unity." Steinmeier diagnosed a profound crisis of trust in democracy in Germany. #Demokratie #Deutschland #Steinmeier (translated)
