French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian spoke on Saturday about the "serious crisis" caused by the torpedoing of a huge French submarine contract for Canberra, denouncing a lie (...), a duplicity (...), a loss "confidence" and "contempt" from France's allies, notes AFP.
Asked on the television channel France 2, Jean-Yves Le Drian justified the recall of the French ambassadors to Canberra and Washington by saying that there was "a serious crisis between us".
This measure, the first in the history of Paris-Washington relations, "is very symbolic." "It was a lie, it was duplicity, it was a major loss of trust, it was contempt, so it doesn't work between us," he said.
"We called on the ambassadors to try to understand and to show the former partner countries that we have a very strong dissatisfaction, that there is really a serious crisis between us," the foreign minister said.
The recall of the French ambassador to London, on the other hand, was considered useless: "We know their permanent opportunism," he said ironically a few months after Brexit. "The UK in this business is a kind of fifth wheel in the wagon," added Jean-Yves Le Drian.
The United States, Australia and the United Kingdom on Wednesday announced a strategic partnership to counter China's AUKUS, including the supply of nuclear-powered US submarines to Canberra, which effectively knocked the French out of the game.
In 2016, France signed a contract worth A $ 90 billion (€ 56 billion) to supply Australia with 12 classically powered submarines, often considered the "contract of the century" because of its strategic value and importance.
On the other hand, the foreign minister also appreciated that the crisis will weigh on the definition of the new strategic concept of NATO, without evoking, however, a withdrawal from the North Atlantic Alliance.
"NATO has initiated a reflection, at the request of the President of France, on its foundations. The new NATO concept will be presented at the next NATO summit in Madrid. Obviously, what just happened will have to do with this definition, "said Jean-Yves Le Drian.
"At the same time, Europe must equip itself with its strategic compass and will be under the responsibility of France in the first half of 2022," he added, referring to the French presidency of the European Union from 1 January.
After the brutal withdrawal of the Americans from Afghanistan, without consulting their allies, and this submarine case, "if Europeans do not feel that in order to remain in history, they must unite and defend their own interests together, then their fate will be completely different ", underlined Jean-Yves Le Drian.

At a symbolic level, September inevitably becomes synonymous with the idea of education and the beginning of school. We are talking about a traditional ceremony, full of emotions and hopes, because we find ourselves again in the school universe - parents, students and teachers, because we try to define ideals or pedagogical principles, build educational paradigms, strategies and projects, analyze the past and design the future, as we sometimes launch professional or political controversies. All this gathers in a tumult of voices, comments, clichés from which the essence is often lost. School is the fundamental place of our becoming, the miraculous space in which we meet others, we overcome our own individualities and loneliness, learning the lesson of communication, of openness to those around us, of understanding the universe. We must not forget that school means, equally, knowledge, science, culture, but also morality, spirituality, love.
This school year completes the range of meanings with the difficulties brought by the epidemiological context, the fear of a persistent virus, the change of rules and forms of communication in the school space, in interpersonal relationships. Everything is atypical, disturbing, contrasting, because there is no lack of children's joys and dreams, parents' desires to offer them a good and relevant education, but also the emotion of teachers when they meet their students ...
That is why the old sound of the bell acquired, however, an atypical sound, because the joy of reunion, the students' curiosity to go on the fascinating path of knowledge and the vocation for the profession of those in the department were intertwined with uncertainty, fear and pressure. psychological change that the change in the social paradigm we are witnessing brings into our lives.
But now let's laugh a little bit and remember the old school days, hoping that 2021-2022 will turn on the right path.
