Chief leader - Macron impresses in Dresden by opening his speech in German.
Macron expressed his joy in addressing Dresden, expressing his identity as a Frenchman and friend of Germany, as well as someone who strongly believes in the European project. He also commented, "It's great to be here with you all, on this square called Neumarkt. I might as well confess, it is wonderful to be here now, after being forced to postpone our meeting last year."
Earlier in January, Macron had won praise for a speech he gave during a state ceremony held for the late CDU politician Wolfgang Schäuble in the German parliament, German being prominently featured in the address. He also threw in some German expressions during the roundtable discussion at Schloss Bellevue on Sunday, like when he referred to Germany as the land of poets and philosophers, but also a place where young French people can find DJs and sports teams.
