Macron urges leaders at WWI ceremony to ‘build hope, not fear’
PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday urged dozens of world
leaders marking a century since the end of World War I to come together
for a joint “fight for peace.”
“Let us build our hopes rather than playing our fears against each
other,” he told leaders gathered at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Speaking to an audience that included US President Donald Trump and
Russia’s Vladimir Putin, he called for leaders to fight “withdrawal,
violence and domination.”
“Together, we can ward off threats — the spectre of global warming and
the destruction of the environment, poverty, hunger, disease,
inequalities, ignorance.”
After spending a week touring the former battlefields of northern
France, he urged leaders not to forget the slaughter, “one hundred years
after a massacre whose scars are still visible on the face of the
world.”
