Kyiv political scientist Alexey Yakubin stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent . He drew attention to several statements made by the winner of the French presidential election, Emmanuel Macron, in particular his remarks about the victory of patriotism over nationalism.
“I think this is an important phrase for our country. In our country, unfortunately, very often, under the banner of the European choice, European values, far-right or nationalist ideas that Macron criticized are promoted. It turns out that his victory under ideas opposed to nationalist ideas, to some extent, indicates that in Ukraine the European choice is not understood exactly the same as it is understood in France. There is a big difference between patriotism, designed to protect and develop one's country, and nationalism, which is rather an idea oriented against others. It seems to me that our politicians have lost this understanding,” the expert believes.
