Bernard Guetta

What was once a hope is now becoming reality. Since Donald Trump’s first election and the entry of Russian troops into Ukraine, there has been a sense that the member states of the Union are ready to establish a common defence policy.

This is the birth of a new power, a European renaissance, which I am documenting here as a journalist and Member of Parliament.

Yours,
Bernard Guetta
