The Czech Republic’s European Commissioner, Věra Jourová, has come out
against a statement by French President Emanuel Macron that NATO is
“brain dead”. Speaking on Czech Television on Sunday, Ms. Jourová said
everything that caused the Kremlin to celebrate should be eschewed, adding
that she the European Union must make itself heard more within NATO.
Speaking on the same programme, the Czech former chairman of the NATO
Military Committee, Petr Pavel, said Mr. Macron’s words had disrupted
unity within the alliance.
