Three significant events have taken place in recent months of the year 2017. First, in Rome, the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, where the President of the Commission presented the White Paper on the Future of Europe (European Commission, 2017), considering the continuation of the European construction in a differentiated way (multi-speed Europe). This event was followed, in May 2017, by the victory of Emmanuel Macron in the French presidential election on the basis, in particular, of a pro-European program claimed to promote enhanced cooperation with plans to create a ministry Eurozone finances, the creation of a fund for the financing of digital innovation, strenghtenig the EU defence and intelligence. Its pro-European commitment seems to have temporarily put an end to the EU bashing (Delaume & Cayla, 2017) that could be read in the press and heard in the speeches of many politicians in Europe. This commitment, announced during a speech at the Humboldt University in Berlin in January 2017 was confirmed, the third milestone event, by two speeches, one in Athens, the other at the Sorbonne in September 2017 which spell out the vision of the new President to engage Europe in a federal leap.

Macron in the French presidential election on the basis, in particular, of a

create a ministry Eurozone finances, the creation of a fund for the financing
of digital innovation, strenghtenig the EU
