Emmanuel Macron spoke on Tuesday at the United Nations tribune in New York. A long speech of about thirty minutes, against 15 minutes traditionally allocated to each representative at the UN, in which the Head of State displayed his anger vis-à-vis Russia and his desire to organize a referendum to annex the Kherson region.
Emmanuel Macron hammered it several times during his speech to the United Nations in New York on Tuesday. With the war in Ukraine, Russia signs the return of “imperialism”. There is a risk according to the Head of State: that of a new partition of the world. Then, the president addressed the countries which remained neutral since the beginning of the war in Ukraine by drawing up a historical comparison with the non-aligned states. Those who shunned block logic at the time of the Cold War.
“Those who are silent serve despite themselves or secretly, with a certain complicity, the cause of a new imperialism”
“The fight of the non-aligned was a fight for peace. The fight of the non-aligned was a fight in the service of the sovereignty of States. Those who are silent today serve in spite of themselves or secretly, with a certain complicity, the cause of a new imperialism, of a contemporary cynicism which disintegrates our international order, without which peace is not possible”, he declared.
Macron pleads for a collective leap
Faced with climate and food challenges, Emmanuel Macron pleads for a collective leap forward. It is urgent to build a new contract, a new pact of solidarity between the North and the South. And on this point, the G7 countries, the richest, must set an example. Finally, in this more egalitarian vision of the world, the president defends a reform of the Security Council to make it more representative and limit the use of the right of veto in the event of mass crimes. A veto used by Russia since the start of the conflict in Ukraine.
