Macron warned, before the French legislative, “It is not convenient to add a French disorder to the current world disorder & rdquor ;. Answer: Macron, re-elected president on April 24, has been left in June without a majority and with problems governing. Why? World disorder – inflation and the war in Ukraine – is already shaking European countries. And Draghi had to hastily leave the Madrid summit due to problems in his national union government.The NATO summit in Madrid – scheduled since before Putin’s invasion – has tried to put limits on world disorder. With an agreement between the United States, the European Union, Sweden and Finland, which have seen the wolf’s ears (they believe Putin is worse than Stalin), and even non-NATO countries like Korea and Australia who, concerned, have come to Madrid. The consequence is that there will be more US military presence in Europe (an operational base in Poland, two more destroyers in Rota) to prevent -Biden ‘dixit’- that Putin gets away with it. Moscow is today the great danger, China, unlike Russia, an economic success, but which must be watched. Biden proclaims that Russia will not win in Ukraine so that Beijing does not fall into any temptation in Taiwan.
And revitalizing NATO is also looking at the Great South. Sub-Saharan Africa is an uncontrolled territory in which immigration fleeing poverty (even more so after the grain shortage) and terrorism threaten European stability. And Spain is the great border with Africa.
The Madrid summit has been historic (Biden and Stoltenberg ‘dixit’) and Spain has scored somewhat by knowing how to ally itself without complexes with the great Western capitals: Washington, Berlin, London, Paris. Rota’s new role and restored relations with the United States (Biden is not Trump or Bush 2, and Sánchez has proven not to be Zapatero) make the southern border of Spain (and Europe) more secure. Morocco is not so necessary and Mohamed VI, when Europe and Spain worry him less, he takes note. As we have seen, he is far from being a democrat, but in Africa he is indeed a modernizer.
The Madrid summit has tried to order a world destabilized by Putin’s imperialism. It would be a mistake not to admit that Sánchez has understood him and has played his cards right, just as Sánchez would be even more wrong if he were not aware that the new agreement with the United States and the increase in military spending will require the complicity of the PP. Feijóo should not deny it, but not inviting him to any event at the summit indicates that sectarianism weighs more than intelligence.
Let’s go over the Pyrenees. Ordering a world in which globalization is receding is not easy. How to fight climate change without cooperating with Beijing and Moscow? And as the heads of the central banks, meeting at the same time in Sintra (Portugal), said, the era of low interest rates and low inflation is over for the “massive geopolitical ‘shock’ & rdquor; of the invasion of Ukraine and the coronavirus.

Economic crises do not make the world safer and the president of the American Federal Reserve say: “Now we know better how little we know about inflation & rdquor ;, worries. Much.
And Putin has traveled outside Russia for the first time since the invasion and according to the ‘New York Times’ has seemed relaxed. He believes that he is not going to lose in Ukraine, that he will put Europe through gas supply difficulties in winter and that, therefore, time is not against him. Is he wrong again, like in February when he invaded the Ukraine?
