Macron misses Merkel. The French president has admitted that he is "terribly boring" without the former German chancellor. The politician said this in a personal correspondence with the journalist Françoise Dagoi. In the messages, Macron also discussed the political situation in France, the early parliamentary elections in 2024 and the prospects of the National Assembly party, reports the newspaper Le Figaro. According to the French president, communication with his current colleagues sometimes seems monotonous and tedious. However, he "doesn't lose heart". "I'm bored. Everything is boring and devoid of creative energy. I miss Mario Draghi (former Italian Prime Minister) and Angela Merkel terribly. Yes, sometimes what happens weighs on me," Macron wrote. Angela Merkel served as Chancellor of Germany from 2005 to 2021 and headed the Christian Democratic Union between 2000-2018.
