Don’t worry, we will soon, “Germany 3 Alsace”

As some extreme right wing Blogs like the “Riposte laïque” Monots’s words continue to spread, many French media urged that the allegations correctly, the major French Newspapers “Le Monde” and “Ouest – France-including”. The regional channel “France 3 Alsace” is not insured for its users: no, don’t worry, we are soon to “Germany 3 Alsace”.

Bernard Monot claims, Macron plane with the Aachen Treaty a “coup against France”

The Elysée Treaty was a milestone for German-French friendship

That it came at that time – only a few years after the Second world war – to such a reconciliation, was remarkable. With the Treaty, the two countries ended their centuries-old ideas of hereditary enmity. And especially the Region, of the Bernard Monot claims, there will now be spoken soon, again German, was always a game ball in the many Wars of the two Nations. Alsace and parts of Lorraine, belonged to history of times to Germany, once to France. Since the end of the Second world war, the border area is once again French.

The Back-and-Forth has left wounds. It has shaped the population and dominates it still. Although none of the fears in France, seriously, that Alsace and Lorraine were German. Nevertheless, If Monot claims, Macron wanted to give back with the Aachen Treaty Alsace and Lorraine to Germany, he uses a old ideas of hereditary enmity, and under the authority of the French President at the same time, “France and the French identity” out.

Merkel and Macron want to strengthen border region

In the Aachen Treaty, according to the foreign Ministry, the Region between France and Germany in focus. The goal is to simplify the everyday life of the people living there, for example, through more public transport between the two countries or by a cross-border job placement. It will also promote the bilingualism of German and French in the border region.

That Alsace and parts of Lorraine should be in any way English, is obviously not in the contract – and the fantasy of the Lord Monot springs only.
