The French president, Emmanuel Macron, will receive this Monday the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, at the Elysée headquarters in Paris. The reception will take place at 2:30 p.m., but before that both leaders will appear before the media, as reported by the French Presidency in a statement.
The meeting takes place within the framework of the European tour that Sánchez began last Wednesday in order to achieve a common position to modify the energy price setting system. The plan is to do it before the meeting of the European Council, on March 24 and 25.
From Paris to Brussels
After his meeting with the French chief executive, Pedro Sánchez, he will travel to Brussels to meet with the Belgian prime minister, Alexander De Croo. The Prime Minister of Belgium will receive the President of the Government at his official residence in Brussels at 5:30 p.m., as reported by the Belgian Executive.
In La Moncloa they compare this tour with a scenario similar to that of July 2020 when the president had to act to get the European Council to approve the European funds to face the economic crisis derived from the pandemic.
It is expected that the tour will end tomorrow, Tuesday, March 22, with a working dinner with the Prime Minister of Ireland, Micheál Martin, whose country is not at all dependent on Russian gas.
This round of meetings with other European leaders takes place in parallel to the meetings that, in Spain, the Government will hold with parliamentary groups, on the one hand, and with autonomous communities and social agents, on the other, to close the National Response Plan to the Economic Consequences of the War that will be approved by the Council of Ministers on March 29.
