In a week when France has been at the forefront of EU news thanks to heated exchanges between President Macron and Members of the European Parliament, we speak to leading French MEP from the president's political group, Fabienne Keller. The former Strasbourg mayor tells FRANCE 24 Emmanuel Macron is "determined" to make progress on key issues including rule of law in the EU, and argues that he should be re-elected as French leader, saying "he needs five more years to finish the job".
We discuss key issues including the state of rule of law in the European Union's member states – something Macron has vowed to tackle during the French Presidency of the European Council; as well as EU relations with Russia, European defence and EU relations with the United Kingdom.
