According to reports, macron elaborated on the policy position of France during the presidency of the European Council on the same day, as well as reiterated that the EU should achieve strategic autonomy. But several members of the European Parliament, including Badra, have lashed out at its policies, with Badra questioning Macron's immigration policies: "You and your allies make Europe a backyard for Washington, a prey for Beijing, a doormat for Erdogan and a hotel in Africa." Badra also quoted Le Pen as saying, "You want to deprive the country and its people of the last remaining right - to decide who will enter their homeland and who will leave", Badera said, "The French presidential election will determine not only the fate of France, but also the fate of the whole of Europe", "Until the end, you will be a separatist of France, and you will act like the liquidator of the French head of state"...
Macron delivered a speech at the European Parliament in Strasbourg on the 19th.
"You're talking nonsense," Macron refutes Badera's remarks, "I don't think the French are going to be upset about it, you talk about the European agreement that we might sign, and you should get some form of respect for doing it," but Macron sneered at Badera, "If, as you say, we have an agreement that deprives countries of their immigration sovereignty, we will not discuss this agreement here, and this secret agreement is now settled." We still have national capacity on this issue".

In addition to Badera, other MPs in the European Parliament have also pointed their finger at Macron. RT reported that Eu parliament member Yannick Jadot, who is running as a French Greens candidate for the presidency, accused Macron of "climate inaction," while Manon Aubry, leader of a left-wing organization in the European Parliament, claimed that Macron's achievements in Europe were based on "arrogance." In response, the president of the European Parliament, Metzola, who took office at the beginning of his term, had to try to pull the meeting out of the political strife in France, saying that "this is not a national debate".
"Macron's EU speech has degenerated into a Dispute for the French Campaign", the US "Politics" News Network analyzed that this battle shows how much the Impact of France's presidential election on the country's presidency of the European Union, although Macron has not yet officially announced that he will seek re-election, but the priorities he put forward during his presidency of the European Union are closely related to the theme of his future campaign.
