Macron and Sánchez Hold Joint Press Conference During French President’s State Visit to Spain

French President Emmanuel Macron outlined his strategy for confronting democratic challenges and the growing influence of what he termed “extremes,” highlighting substantial investment in a stronger European Union as his campaign for the upcoming French presidential election takes shape. During a two‑day state visit to Spain, Macron arrived at the Royal Palace in Madrid with his wife Brigitte aboard a Rolls‑Royce escorted by the Royal Guard on horseback in ceremonial dress. In the palace’s cobbled courtyard, the couple was welcomed by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, accompanied by a military band and cannon salutes, in the presence of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
