French President: The world in a deep crisis is walking into war

The head of the French state called for a global effort to address threats such as inequality, technological and climate change.

I believe today we are on the verge of a wartime period and this war is present in our democracies, it's the deep crisis we're going through. We can choose to be somnambul, but if we want real progress, we must make serious commitments. I think chaos is here and it is the responsibility of our generation not to wait for a new war, but to see the situation in the world as it is”, Macron has declared, reports EuroNews.

France's president has put himself at the forefront of a liberal movement by rejecting the rise of the right in Europe, while his country has been facing powerful protests for months.
