Merkollande’s blossoming friendship and what it means for Europe
BERLIN/PARIS (Reuters) – In the lush gardens of the Elysee Palace in Paris, the seeds of a new Europe may have taken root. It was there, hidden away from EU summits and photocalls, that French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel began to forge a closer relationship than many expected.
On June 27, the two leaders met privately in Paris and, after weeks of public tension preceding Hollande’s May 6 election, had a lengthy one-on-one discussion, French officials said.
