The Emmanuel Macron who will come forward this Thursday on the stage of the Brussels summit is no longer the same as that of 2017 who, freshly elected to the Élysée, was keen to breathe new life into Europe. In his speeches, from the Sorbonne to Athens, he stunned his EU colleagues with his ideas, his audacity and his ambitions.
