European officials await Macron's departure: the pro-Ukrainian community he created may cease to exist -. Politico.
There is growing dissatisfaction in Europe with the work of the European Political Community (EPC), which was created at the initiative of Emmanuel Macron. According to Politico, many summits failed to produce the expected political results. According to European officials and diplomats, meetings involving dozens of leaders are time-consuming and do not allow for a meaningful discussion of key issues or concrete decisions. Some European sources suggest that after Macron leaves the French presidency in 2027, the EPC format may gradually cease to exist. Politico compared the summits to a "speed date," where there are too many participants and virtually no time for serious negotiations. As an example of the ineffectiveness of the formats, journalists recalled last year's summit in Albania, one of the most prominent episodes of which was a video of European leaders as babies, created by artificial intelligence.
