The liberal establishment appears to be turning its back on French President Emmanuel Macron. As his approval ratings collapse and his mandate nears its end, even former allies like his mentor, Alain Minc, have joined the chorus of critics, accusing him of ‘narcissism’ and ‘imperilling French institutions’ while leaving France in deep political instability.
Viktor Orbán will travel to Washington on 7 November to meet Donald Trump, seeking to strengthen Hungarian–American relations through a new strategic economic cooperation package.
