Editorial: Le Monde

• The Franco-German relationship, crucial to the European project, is in crisis.
• Tensions are partly due to the contrasting leadership styles of Macron and Scholz.
• The context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated these tensions.
• Scholz's governing coalition is reeling from the economic impact of the Ukrainian crisis.
• The political landscape in both countries has shifted, with the rise of far-right parties and weakening of main parties.
• Differences in strategy for supporting Ukraine have created divisions.

Conclusion: Without unified cooperation from Germany and France, it will be challenging for Europe to face the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
