Honorific Accolades - Macron visits Münster in North Rhine-Westphalia: Official state trip to Germany.
Macron gets the Westphalian Peace Prize for enhancing European partnerships. He's joined by many other high-ranking politicians at the event in Münster. Besides Steinmeier and Macron, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) will also address the 350 guests.
If you wish to see the French president close-up, there's a brief chance for that at midday: They'll show up with their wives on the balcony of the city wine house on the Principal Market for just a moment to greet the crowd. Despite the security measures, establishments near the Principal Market remain open for customers.
In the city center, there is intense security. People protested against European arms shipments to Ukraine moments before the Macron visit, while anti-nuclear protesters speak out against the expansion of nuclear energy in France.
Press release.
