French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday, April 9, that he could recognize the Palestinian state in June during a meeting he will co-chair with Saudi Arabia at UN Headquarters in New York.

According to Macron, the decision could lead several countries in the region to recognize Israel. The French president argued: “We should move towards recognition, and we will make progress in the coming months,” in an interview with local network France 5.

He emphasized that sometime in June, together with Saudi Arabia, “at this conference, we will finalize this movement of mutual recognition by various parties.”

For Macron, the decision to recognize the Palestinian state will allow us to “fight against those who deny Israel’s right to exist.”

This Sunday the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, announced the dissolution of the National Assembly, after suffering a wide defeat in the European elections, in which the far-right National Rally obtained a majority against Macron’s pro-European centrists. Le Pen’s party (first force in France) and the German conservative AfD party (2nd force in Germany), swept the elections.

The president issued a message to the country where he indicated that in the face of the events he could not act as if nothing had happened. He indicated: “I have decided to give back to you the power of decision over our parliamentary future through voting. Therefore, I am dissolving the National Assembly.”

The early elections will take place on June 30 and July 7 in the first and second rounds, respectively.

Macron and Meloni held a closed-door meeting to discuss a variety of issues, mainly the migration crisis, the Euro-Mediterranean Med9 summit to be held on Friday in Malta and the upcoming informal European Council to be held in the Spanish city of Granada.

The meeting, which lasted around one hour and twenty minutes, was “cordial”, according to sources at the Chigi Palace. The Franco-Italian ‘roadmap’ is expected to be unveiled in phases at the various regional and international summits scheduled for the coming days.

While Italy and France are bringing closer positions on migration, the League, led by Matteo Salvini and which is part of the Italian government coalition, has criticized Germany for its position regarding aid for humanitarian NGOs working in the Mediterranean approved by the Bundestag.

The deputy secretary of the League, Andrea Crippa, stated this Tuesday that the German side seeks to “destabilize” the Italian Government by using migration to “reduce the consensus” existing in the center-right bloc.

“80 years ago, the German Government decided to invade States with its Army, but it went badly. Now they finance the invasion of illegal immigrants to destabilize governments that the social democrats do not like,” he said, reported in the newspaper La Repubblica.

The German Foreign Ministry reported on Friday that it would accept the funds approved by the Bundestag for a maritime rescue project and another for land assistance, each for an amount between 400,000 and 800,000 euros.

The French government led by Emmanuel Macron used a controversial procedure to implement its unpopular pension reform without a vote by deputies.

Macron proposed delaying the retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030 and bringing forward to 2027 the requirement to contribute 43 years (instead of the current 42) to collect a full pension. However, two out of three French people are opposed to the reform, according to polls.

Despite the approval of the Senate, the government struggled to convince a handful of pro-government deputies and about twenty from their right-wing ally, The Republicans, who are still reticent. Fearing a setback in the National Assembly, the government has chosen to activate article 49.3, although this may intensify social protests.

More than 1,500 demonstrators went to the Assembly headquarters after the announcement of the mechanism, led by student organizations and chanting “Hey Manu Manu, 49.3 or not, we don’t want your reform!”

The Government of France announced this week the increase in the minimum wage in the region, which will now be 1,353 euros per month.

This increase represents 1.8%, about 24 euros, more than the minimum income that an employee received in France during 2022. Per hour, the minimum wage rises from 11.07 euros to 11.27.

The increase in salary is given automatically each year, based on the interannual inflation published in November by the French Institute of Statistics (Insee). During 2022, however, it had already been subject to three revaluations to protect the purchasing power of the French against price increases.

Among other important measures announced for this year, fast food restaurants must put aside the use of disposable containers for products that are consumed in establishments.

The French president, Emmanuel Macron, met with the owner of Tesla Elon Musk during his trip to the United States, where they held a discussion about the social network Twitter and content moderation.

“In line with our ambition to decarbonize and reindustrialize France and Europe, I spoke today with Elon Musk about future green industrial projects, especially about the manufacture of electric and battery vehicles“, the French head of state conveyed.

The meeting took place the same day that the newspaper The New York Times published the conclusions of several studies that pointed out that hate speech has skyrocketed on said platform since it was acquired by Musk.

This totally contradicts the statements of the billionaire and his team, which ensured that hate speech had been reduced on said social network.

Emmanuel Macron, president of France, reported that his government is studying applying some short-term measures to compensate the people most affected by the increase in fuel prices, with diesel at record levels.

During his inspection of the construction works of the Olympic Village for the 2024 Games, President Macron indicated: “The Government has mobilized and will have a response in the coming days,” but did not give further details.

The price of diesel was recently published, which was a historical record in France, achieving an average increase of 1.5354 euros per liter, which represents a 28 % increase and 95 octane gasoline is very close to the record reached in 2012.

Macron said: “This affects our compatriots, especially the most modest ones”, without underestimating the impacts it generates on the French population as a whole.

The government has already carried out some actions to protect its fellow citizens and in recent days announced measures to help those most affected by the sharp increase in gas. The president considers that the executive has greater sensitivity on these issues after the “tax hike on fuels” that occurred in 2018 and that generated strong protests by the movement called “yellow vests.”
