Macron Calls for Unified European Energy Market, Sparks Criticism

French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking in Antwerp, Belgium, advocated for a unified European energy market and the construction of an integrated electricity grid. The aim is to provide stable, predictable, and competitive energy to industry, which requires significant investment in energy networks. An accompanying opinion piece expresses surprise that Macron did not consider studies already conducted by Greek experts, such as Makis Keravnos, regarding the sustainability of such energy choices. The author argues that this omission makes Europe a laughingstock. The lack of consultation with experts and the potential disregard for important data on the sustainability of energy policies are subject to criticism.
