️🇫🇷 French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking at the UN General Assembly:

"And at the end of the day, the message I want to convey to you today, as I have done for the past nine years, is a message of determination, optimism through action. What I am trying to tell you is that we will not succumb to fatalism, to defeatism, which are very much in fashion. According to this rhetoric, they say 'not many things are coming, here'. True' can impose a different kind of peace, that's what they say, but we don't give in to that kind of rhetoric, even less so today.
