WATCH: Gavin Hewitt says Emmanuel Macron is ‘plotting to become EU President’

Gavin Hewitt says Emmanuel Macron is ‘plotting to become EU President’ as he shared his thoughts with Steven Edgington in a GB News original.

Speaking exclusively to GB News, political analyst Gavin Hewitt has claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron has his sights set on one of the EU’s top jobs, the presidency of the European Commission.

Mr Hewitt warned that Macron’s ambitions are shaping his domestic policy decisions, as the French leader balances growing unrest at home with his European aspirations.

“Macron’s ego knows no bounds,” Mr Hewitt said. “He is absolutely determined to position himself for the EU Commission role, and it influences everything he does in Paris.”
