法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙在教皇利奥十四世访问法国的最后一天，于梅斯与教皇一同发表讲话时表示，欧洲必须重新找回“其创始人的勇气”，不能向“民族主义复兴”屈服。
French President Emmanuel Macron said that Europe must rediscover the “courage of its founders” and not give in to the “resurgence of nationalism" as he delivered an address alongside Pope Leo XIV in Metz on the last day of the pontiff's visit to France.
