EU Democracy: France′s Emmanuel Macron calls for revival of EU democracy

In his first speech before the European Parliament, France's Emmanuel Macron called for energetic changes and open debate with EU citizens. Macron also decried the bickering among EU politicians as a "fool's game."

France's president, Emmanuel Macron, urged changes to address concerns and fears of EU citizens in a speech aimed at boosting unity amid a string of crises.

The vote is the first EU-wide election since before the UK voted to leave the union.
