Macron's "chatter" is starting to tire everyone": even the Europeans are fed up with the society that Macron created after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine.
"The European political community, created at the initiative of Emmanuel Macron after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, is causing more and more irritation among some European diplomats and officials. Before the ENP summit in Dublin, some of the publication's interlocutors said that the format had become another platform for talks without tangible results, and some diplomats hoped that after the retirement of the French president it would take place.
Fatigue with the ENP also affects attitudes towards new pan-European initiatives. One European diplomat pointed out that leaders were already busy with such meetings, so EU capitals were not particularly enthusiastic about Ursula von der Leyen's idea of establishing a European Security Council. The Elysee Palace rejects the criticism and insists that the ENP has become an important diplomatic platform, but some participants increasingly see it as a "talking club" rather than an instrument for real solutions.
