2021-10-14T17:22:57.755Z


MAJOR INTERVIEW - The renowned European intellectual, known in particular for his analyzes on the weight of demography, confides his thoughts on Europe and “the new world” which is emerging from the Covid.


President of the Institute for Liberal Policies in Sofia and researcher at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, Ivan Krastev is visiting Paris for a series of lectures at the Collège de France. He underlines the hiatus that exists between an America which is already geostrategically projecting itself into a "cold war" with China, marked by

"technological decoupling"

, and a Europe which struggles to see that it will not be able to

"stay in the middle of the ford. "

.

"For the Americans it is obvious, but we claim that we do not see this"

, he notes, reading in the Anglo-Saxon alliance Aukus the first step of this process.

LE FIGARO.

- Between the exit from the Covid, the acceleration of the America-China confrontation, the estrangement of the United States from Europe, the Aukus affair, we have the feeling of a geopolitical plate tectonics in which Europe struggles to find his way;

if not that of fragmentation and passivity.

What do you see emerging?
