French President Emmanuel Macron denounced nationalism during an Armistice Day centennial observance in Paris on Sunday. “Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism: Nationalism is treason,” Macron said, according to a Euronews translator.
Macron spoke in front of world leaders including President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“If we think our interests may only come first and we don’t care for others, it is a treason of our values, a betrayal of all moral values,” he said. “We must remember this.”
Macron said that the moral values of France helped them fight for the future of their country.
He praised the world leaders that formed the first League of Nations, after World War I.
“They imagined the first international corporation, the dismantling of empires, and redefined borders, and dreamed at the time of a union, a political union of Europe,” Macron said.
He lamented that the spirit of revenge and humiliation after World War I sparked renewed nationalism that led to World War II.
Macron defended organizations like the European Union and the United Nations, hailing their ideals despite their “setbacks” over the years. He called for a new era of science-built progress.
“Together we can rise to the challenges of poverty, global warming, disease, inequality, and ignorance,” he said. “And we can win this together, because victory is possible together, together we can break away from the countertruths and injustices, we can counter the extremes which would drive us to war.”
In an interview with CNN, Macron continued his condemnation of nationalism but was hesitant to claim the “globalist” label.
“I would say I’m a patriot,” he said, but added: “I’m not a believer in a sort of globalism without any differentiation.

What a twit.
The amusing thing, if you go back to the 2017 election period in France...then ask about all the ‘promises’ that Macron made in various speeches....they all lead back to some nationalism ‘plate’.
If they held an election today? If the choice is strictly Macron and Le Pen, then Macron would win again. But if this were a totally open election with multiple parties, then I doubt if he’d get more than 20-percent of the national vote. Next election though? 2022.
What the leaders in Europe are doing is treason to their countries by definition. They are destroying there countries.
He called for a new era of science-built progress.
He also said we’ve always been at war with east Asia and that war is peace.
Seriously these morons think we didn’t read 1984.
What, exactly, is nationalism betraying?
Hopefully, Macron will not favor France over the USA from now on in trade deals, defense, etc.

Globalism with differentiation, two class communism and he is part of the ruling class.

Melania’s revenge!! Look closely, No Macron.
Old Money be running lower
Surrender Monkey through and through...
Nationalism is treason
Ignorance is strength
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Nonsense.
Macron is proof communism/leftism destroys all logical and critical thinking ability.
I can hear his next line saying some pigs are more equal than others in true communist fashion.
France hasn’t been able to protect their country in modern times, so they’ll just surrender to anyone. They’re ashamed to claim they’re a nation anymore,
Sound like a swipe at the President.
“Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism: Nationalism is treason,” Macron said”
So Macaroni is saying President Trump is treasonous?
I think Mr Macaroni is a tad overdone and getting mushy...

Tell the family of the French underground that gave their lives in WW II.
