German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was called unnecessarily slow and hesitant, and French President Emmanuel Macron was accused of a lot of “empty talk”. This criticism of European leaders was expressed by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in an interview with a Swiss newspaper. Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
The former Secretary General noted that Macron’s statements about the possibility of deploying Western troops to Ukraine are just empty words. He criticized the French leader, saying, “This is just talk. Macron is trying to cover up the insufficient aid to France.”
He also described Scholz as unnecessarily slow and vague. According to Rasmussen, Europe needs the German government to take more decisive steps as the German Chancellor does not show himself as a real leader.
“We need leaders who can act decisively. Public opinion cannot be manipulated during military conflicts,” Rasmussen emphasized.
