Macron dis-invites Parmelin
A visit by Guy Parmelin to France, which has been planned for six months, falls into the water. President Emmanuel Macron does not want to see the Swiss head of state.
French President Emmanuel Macron is not only angry with the US and the loss of a submarine deal with Australia believed to be safe. Macron is also angry with Switzerland because Federal Bern has decided to procure the American F-35 stealth jet for around six billion Swiss francs. For about half a year, Switzerland and France had planned a presidential visit by President Guy Parmelin to Paris. But nothing will come of this working meeting, which should have taken place in November.
Macron does not want to see Parmelin. And not only that: Paris also no longer wants to allow high-level bilateral contacts with Federal Bern until next summer. The unusual step is not only straining relations between the two states, but also those between Switzerland and the EU, which Macron will take over as Council Presidency in the first half of 2022. The French head of state is thus playing first fiddle in the Council of Ministers of the EU, the decision-making body of the member states, for six months.
