"Europe was the leading force the last five centuries. This is not easy to understand that the world changed a little bit and that we are not at the center any more. Europe's tendency is to frame its own problem as a global crisis, less about leadership, and more about preserving relevance in a world where its dominance is clearly declining. Look at our population. This year in France, we had more deaths than births," she stressed.
"It's an awful example, an awful example of hegemony, of complete lack of culture. And I suppose that if Jacques Chirac were in the place of Trump, it wouldn't have been that way. And even probably the conflict on our continent, in Ukraine, it would have been very different. Because it's a question of the comprehension of the world you have. In the United States, they don't have a multipolar vision," she concluded.
