The European Union “is prepared to use all tools at its disposal” to change the behaviour of Turkey, according to Charles Michel, the president of the European Council.
In this wide-ranging interview, the Belgian politician says he remains “cautious” vis-a-vis Ankara’s intentions, and he notes that the challenges of authoritarian states to the Western alliance are constantly growing. He highlights the European Union’s many strengths and says that the bloc should not be oblivious to them.
Michel participated in a special event in Athens to mark the occasion of the 40-year anniversary of Greece’s accession to the European Community on Thursday, and he sent a message of hope and common resolution for the creation of a new economic and social paradigm in Europe.
