Text Assassin. The French Embassy in Niger recently issued a statement saying that the diplomatic work of the French Embassy in Niger was restricted by the country's authorities, so it decided to close the embassy indefinitely. In addition, the last group of officers and men of the French army stationed in Niger also left their garrisons a few days ago to return to China. This meant the end of the French colonial rule in Niger.
France lost the last colony in Africa, not only the face of the country, but also Macron's image and public support. Therefore, in order to save the face he has recently lost, Macron has recently frantically brushed up his presence, hoping to offset the impact of his strategic failure in Africa. According to the 23rd channel of the global network, a person familiar with the matter revealed that Macron will be the guest of honor at the celebration of India's Republic Day on January 26 next year.
The reason why Macron won this "honor" in India is that he picked up a big leak. U.S. ** Biden recently made a decision not to participate in India's Republic Day celebrations. Because the incident between the United States and India because of the Sikh people in the United States is still fermenting, it has had a great impact on the relations between the two countries. In this regard, some analysts believe that Biden's release of Modi's dove is revenge for India's "violation" of US sovereignty.
Obviously, if Biden hadn't refused to attend India's Republic Day celebrations, when would it be Macron's turn to be the "monkey" here in India?It is true that Biden disdains to participate in the event, but Macron participates like a treasure, not because he is interested in the "miscellaneous" celebrations related to India, but because he needs to use Modi's field to add points to his politics.
France is currently eyeing the acquisition of carrier-based fighters for India's new aircraft carrier, and India has also shown strong interest in France's Rafale carrier-based fighters. For Macron, taking advantage of Biden's refusal to participate in India's Republic Day celebrations, he gave Modi the face to ensure that the Indian Navy's carrier-based fighter order would not be snatched away by the United States or Russia.
In addition, France has overseas territories in the Asia-Pacific region, and it needs to strengthen its military and political presence in the region to ensure that this overseas territory does not turn upside down like Niger. Since India is a key node in the so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy" of Western countries, if Macron wants to maintain France's influence in the Asia-Pacific region, he must first worship India as a "mountain gate".
In addition, France was forced to withdraw all diplomats and troops from Nigeria, which dealt a great blow to the country's image and influence in the international arena. France's opposition parties blamed Macron's inaction for the country's strategic failure and used it as a pretext to launch a political attack on him. Therefore, Macron must counteract the impact of the opposition's political attacks by making some diplomatic achievements in other areas.
For this reason, Macron not only replaced Biden as the guest of honor at Modi's celebrations, but he also called out to Putin a few days ago, telling him that his ** number had not been changed, hoping that the other party would "have time to talk about the Ukraine issue". In addition, Macron also made surprising remarks in an interview a few days ago, declaring that he "does not rule out the possibility of inviting Putin to visit France next year", of course, provided that Russia and Ukraine hold peace talks and change the situation.
For Macron, whether it is to facilitate the Franco-Indian fighter plane deal, or to invite and facilitate the Russian-Ukrainian negotiation visit to France, no matter whether things can be done or not, anyway, let the voters know that they have "done their best" for the country. In fact, the reason why Macron will be so desperate in the near future is because if he doesn't fight again, his ** throne may have to be replaced by a political opponent.
Macron's life at home has not been easy recently, and the French people are angry with those in power because of their poor life due to factors such as the energy crisis and inflation in Europe. Macron's unwise foreign policy has made life difficult for the French electorate, and they will naturally not let him have a good time. According to "Reference News", with the rise of right-wing political forces in France, Macron is facing a rout. In this regard, the Spanish "Vanguard" newspaper said in a report that it is no longer a dream for French far-right leaders led by Le Pen to enter the Échery Palace.
For all the above reasons, among the Western leaders who participated in the celebrations of India's Republic Day, when there were no tigers in the mountains due to Biden's absence, Macron jumped out to be a bully. Its main purpose was to increase France's influence and accumulate more political capital for itself.
