The French President complained of boredom with the current European leaders, it was learned from Emmanuel Macron's personal correspondence with the journalist Françoise Dagoi. Excerpts from the letters were published in the newspaper Le Figaro. The French leader sent clear messages in the fall of 2024 directly from summit meetings in Brussels. In them, Macron complains about the dreary atmosphere in the European capital, and emphasizes that the politics of the European Union has become sad and completely devoid of creative energy. "Yes, sometimes what happens bothers me," the message reads. The French leader admitted that he misses former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, whom he considers more powerful political players.
