In Athens, French President Emmanuel Macron and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis held a symbolically charged conversation at the ancient Roman Agora. “We will be here if your sovereignty is threatened,” Macron reportedly told Mitsotakis, as the two leaders discussed the challenges facing Europe and the road ahead.
The choice of venue — steeped in the history of democracy and empire — underscored the gravity of the conversation. With European security architecture under unprecedented strain and transatlantic relationships in flux, the Franco-Greek dialogue signaled an effort to shore up continental solidarity.
