Macron Negotiates Key Position for Séjourné at EU Commission
French President Emmanuel Macron is actively working to secure the appointment of his close advisor, Thierry Séjourné, to a key position in the European Commission. This move could significantly bolster France's influence in Europe and provide political stability at home ahead of upcoming elections. Séjourné, currently serving as Macron's chief advisor on European affairs at the Élysée Palace, is one of Macron's most trusted individuals, and his experience in international politics may prove advantageous for intra-European relations.
In recent weeks, Macron has held several meetings with other leaders of EU member states, including the German Chancellor and the Italian Prime Minister, to garner support for his trusted advisor. He emphasizes that Séjourné’s appointment would strengthen ties between key EU states and improve coordination in areas such as economy, security, and environmental issues.
Among the many issues Macron is addressing, the need to maintain EU unity stands out, especially amid current global challenges like climate change and economic instability. Should Séjourné gain support, it could significantly enhance France's position in high-level discussions.
It remains unclear how quickly these appointments can be advanced, as the final decision lies with other participants in the EU political process. However, many observers are confident that Séjourné’s experience and connections could lead to a successful appointment.
