Beyond the damage, even the mockery. The France of Emmanuel Macron not only decided to strike Italy hard on theFincantieri-Stx deal. But he also did something else: now it is trying to change the very rules that the Italian shipbuilding giant wanted to stick to. It's business as usual, one might say.

It all stems from the agreement on the merger of Alstom con Siemens. An agreement That, according to the intentions of Berlin and Paris, would have created a giant of the railway industry. With 27 thousand German employees and 33 thousand French employees, the idea was (and continues to be) that of creating a giant in the sector capable of competing with Chinese and American companies.

Angela Merkel and Macron have done everything to create this large infrastructure conglomerate. And in fact this is one of the points of Treaty of Aachen: build a Franco-German industrial system that is as integrated as possible, in which companies from the two states strengthen relationships as much as possible to create a common agenda. France and Berlin are therefore committed not only from a political and strategic point of view, but also from an economic and infrastructural point of view.
