Emmanuel Macron made a revealing comment on the sidelines of the recent Western Balkan summit in Berlin last month. The French president said: “The German growth model has perhaps run its course”. I think this is quite an extraordinary statement coming from a French president. It shows that he must have reflected on this issue for quite some time. And it shows that thegreat love affair with Germany is over. We are clearly entering a different phase in the Franco-German relationship.
法国总统埃马纽埃尔•马克龙(Emmanuel Macron)在上月柏林举行的西巴尔干峰会间隙发表了一通发人深省的评论。马克龙表示:“德国的增长模式可能已经走到尽头。”我觉得,这是来自一位法国总统的一份颇为非同寻常的声明。此言表明,他一定已对这一问题思考了很长一段时间。同时还表明,法德之间的“伟大爱情”已经结束。显然,法德关系正在进入一个新阶段。
