Le président français Emmanuel Macron et la chancelière allemande Angela Merkel ont signé ce mardi un nouvel accord bilatéral visant à renforcer leur coopération. Est-ce un traité sérieux ou juste une affaire d’image de l’unité de l’UE ? Entretien.

"L'iniquité commise en ce monde ne produit pas ses fruits immédiatement, mais comme la terre, quand la saison en vient, en avançant peu à peu, elle éradique l'homme qui l'a commise...
