Why France and Germany Want to Abolish the EU's Foreign Minister

France and Germany are pushing to reform — or abolish — the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the bloc's de facto "Foreign Minister." Critics argue the role duplicates member states' own foreign policies, slows decision-making, and weakens Europe's response during international crises. This video breaks down the political motivations driving the proposal, the structural tensions at the heart of EU foreign policy, and what a more streamlined European leadership model could look like. From the balance of power between member states to the EU's standing on the global stage, explore how this debate could fundamentally reshape European diplomacy and what it means for international relations going forward. #EUPolitics #EuropeanForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #FranceGermany #EUReform #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
