🌍 The Great Divorce: Berlin and Paris at a Crossroads

Europe’s "power engine" is misfiring. In a high-stakes clash of philosophies, Germany has slammed the brakes on French-led plans for collective EU debt and aggressive industrial subsidies. While Paris warns that Europe is falling behind global giants, Berlin’s new leadership under Chancellor Merz insists that "throwing money at productivity problems" isn't the cure.
The rift has left the bloc in a "two-speed" limbo: France demands a massive, Marshall-style investment plan for defense and tech, while Germany counters with a roadmap for deregulation and private capital mobilization. As markets watch for cracks in the Euro's stability, the question remains—can the EU lead if its two strongest voices aren't speaking the same language?
