The President’s Decision Macron Declare symbolically and ideologically war against fundamentalist Islam and its extremely aggressive reaction. Erdogan It seems that they are burying the relations between the two leaders, also causing irreparable damage to the Franco-Turkish relations. It was a matter of time. The conflict between the two leaders has started a long time ago with an obvious tendency to escalate.
This is not a misunderstanding, not a personal dislike, or an occasional quarrel. Indeed, it is the conflicting interests of France and Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean that made this conflict inevitable and not temporary. The Turkish president’s declaration that his French counterpart needed psychotherapy was just one reason, the last straw that broke a glass already full.
The French presidency reacted immediately with a statement and Paris decided to call the French ambassador in Ankara for consultations. This is not the first time that Erdogan has referred to Macron’s “balance of mind.” The difference is that now the beheading of the master has preceded Samuel Patti by a young Chechen jihadist. The teacher’s “sin”? He showed his students, asking the Muslims to leave so as not to be offended, the satirical sketches for the magazine. Charlie Hebdo for Muhammad.
But what makes this murder somewhat less disgusting and symbolic, given that Paris has been repeatedly hit by deadly attacks from Islamic terrorism? It is up to President Macron to underscore his resolve to defend freedom of expression and the Western way of life in general by putting up sketch posters in public buildings. Charlie Hebdo for Muhammad. This is a clear message that this is France and any Muslim who is offended will adapt or can leave it.
It is noteworthy that before the unfortunate professor’s blood was dried, Erdogan rushed in an extremely aggressive manner to assume the role of defender of Islam. Nothing unexpected as you are betting on this newspaper to become the leader of the omnipresent Muslims and Turkey a major player, expanding its influence in the Muslim world.
After all, the Turkish president tends to attack Macron. To be precise, he has pulled the strings: how ahistorical he has called it, how unbalanced! This is because Macron is the only European leader who openly and unequivocally criticizes Ankara’s expansionist policy in the eastern Mediterranean. It was Turkish involvement in Libya, in fact, that forced the French president to cross the Rubicon in relation to Turkey.
Now both leaders have realized that the conflicting interests of their countries do not allow them to continue doing business as usual. Macron is increasingly consciously adopting the role of savior of the EU and defender of Greece and the Republic of Cyprus, while the Merkel it plays the exact opposite role, ensuring that Turkey falls into the trap of whatever it does. For now.
The story returns in an impressive way. the Turkey problem threatens to cause a break in the old Franco-German axis, since the Sedan it reiterates the geopolitical choices of the past, when Germany viewed the Ottoman Empire as a privileged ally. Since then, much water has fallen into the ditch, but the atavism that characterizes current German foreign policy is evident.
The flag that President Macron raised, to defend the Western way of life of Islamic fundamentalism, finds a great response in governments, but mainly in public opinion in almost all the countries of the Old Continent. More and more Europeans believe that something must change, that “political correctness” acts as an umbrella of protection for fanatical Islamists and therefore as a trap for Europe.
Finally, it is clear that Erdogan not only builds the profile of leader of Muslims everywhere, but also to achieve this he indirectly but clearly tries to revive at a symbolic level the religious war of Christianity-Islam, which by other means has been declared for him Al Qaeda Y ISIS. It is no coincidence that the Turkish president sent a video recorded message to the meeting of the muftis and the heads of the religious affairs services of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and that in his message he triumphed against President Macron.
