Rajoy and Hollande pledge to make EU unbreakable force at Malaga political summit

SPAIN and France’s leaders have pledged to make the EU an unbreakable force in the face of external threats.

Mariano Rajoy and Francois Hollande outlined their commitment to leading a ‘rapid programme of European integration’ to pull member states closer together at a press conference in Malaga.

Speaking at the Pompidou Centre, Rajoy said the EU would rise against ‘populism and anti-European feeling’ that some believe could threaten the continental project and would manage to avoid another ‘Brexit’ situation.

The comments were made at the end of the 14th Spanish-French Summit, which also focused on how to strengthen working relations between the two states.
