Macron warns Europe against ‘authoritarianism’

STRASBOURG, France: French President Emmanuel Macron warned Europe on Tuesday against the temptations of “authoritarianism” both around the world and inside the European Union itself.

In his first speech to the European Parliament, Macron warned that there was a “sort of European civil war,” adding that “there is a fascination with the illiberal and it’s growing all the time.”
