施泰因迈尔与马克龙：告别与欧洲的新动力罗莎莉亚·罗马涅茨 2026年10月9日总统弗兰克-瓦尔特·施泰因迈尔与埃马纽埃尔·马克龙即将卸任。他们在法国的会面清楚地表明，法德伙伴关系亟需注入新的动力。
Steinmeier and Macron: Farewells and new momentum for Europe Rosalia Romaniec October 9, 2026 Presidents Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Emmanuel Macron are about to step down from their offices. Their meeting in France made it clear how urgently the Franco-German partnership needs new momentum.
施泰因迈尔总统（左）与马克龙总统及其夫人在巴黎会面告别。德国代表团此前并不知晓巴黎街头正在发生的学生罢工。车队顺利穿过法国首都，但在凯旋门和香榭丽舍大街附近，交通却一度停滞数小时。由于此次访问规格极高，周边大片街道已被封锁。
Presidents Steinmeier (l) and Macron and their wives met in Paris for a farewell The German delegation was unaware of the student strikes taking place on the streets of Paris The motorcades passed through the French capital without any hindrances. Around the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées, however, traffic was at a standstill for hours. Due to the high-profile visit, the streets were cordoned off over a wide area.
埃马纽埃尔·马克龙决定以一项特别的仪式送别他的德国贵宾弗兰克-瓦尔特·施泰因迈尔：军事荣誉仪式在凯旋门下举行。于是，清晨时分，德国国歌在巴黎市中心响起——阳光普照，寒意刺骨。
Emmanuel Macron had decided on a special gesture to send off Frank-Walter Steinmeier his special German guest: The military honors took place under the Arc de Triomphe. And so, early in the morning, the German national anthem rang out in the heart of Paris — amid sunshine and bitter cold.
这一举动既体现了深厚的友谊，也富有象征意义，但似乎已属于一个遥远的时代。在两国，政治边缘的民粹主义势力正逐渐获得支持。在德国，极右翼政党“德国选择党”（AfD）在全国民意调查中位居第一。在法国，埃马纽埃尔·马克龙很快可能由极左翼的让-吕克·梅朗雄或极右翼的玛丽娜·勒庞接任。
It was a generous gesture of friendship and symbolism, yet it seemed to be from a bygone era. In both countries, populists on the political fringes are gaining support. In Germany, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) ranks first in nationwide polls. In France, Emmanuel Macron could soon be succeeded by either Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the far left or Marine Le Pen of the far right.
此外，一场威胁着繁荣的经济危机也接踵而至。尚未解决的社会正义问题正促使年轻一代走上街头。与此同时，社交媒体正日益成为虚假信息传播的工具，并“加剧了对民主制度的质疑”，马克龙在巴黎表示。
Added to this is an economic crisis that threatens prosperity. Unresolved issues of social justice are driving younger generations into the streets. At the same time, social media is increasingly becoming a tool of disinformation and "accelerating doubts about democracy," Macron said in Paris.
尽管德国选择党（AfD）可能很快会在萨克森-安哈尔特州组建其首个州政府，但施泰因迈尔总统仍然保持信心。他强调，德国未来将继续“在欧洲发挥领导作用”，德国人也会继续成为优秀的欧洲人。但他并未说明自己为何如此笃定。在爱丽舍宫举行的联合新闻发布会上，记者提问并不被允许。
While the AfD may soon form its first state government in Saxony-Anhalt President Steinmeier remains confident. He insisted that Germany would continue to "play a leading role in Europe" in the future and that Germans would remain good Europeans. But he did not say where he drew this certainty from. Questions from journalists were not permitted at the joint press conference at the Élysée Palace.
未来可期，却无具体计划。政治学家雅各布·罗斯对此并不感到意外。他认为，马克龙和施泰因迈尔都缺乏“针对德国、法国和欧洲的真正议程”。这位德法关系专家在德国对外关系委员会中表示，两人所代表的政治体系都“试图用20世纪的解决方案来应对21世纪的危机”。尽管施泰因迈尔和马克龙的政治风格不同，但罗斯认为他们之间存在相似之处——尤其是在政策失败方面。
A future, but no plan Political scientist Jacob Ross isn't surprised by this. Both Macron and Steinmeier lack a "genuine agenda for Germany, France, and Europe." Both represent political systems that "seek to respond to 21st-century crises with 20th-century solutions," said the expert on German-French relations at the German Council on Foreign Relations Even though Steinmeier and Macron have different political styles, Ross sees parallels — especially where their policies have failed.
战略外交问题就是一个例子，例如如何对待俄罗斯。“很长一段时间以来，他们推行的政策都基于将俄罗斯融入欧洲，但随后两人都被2022年的事件打了个措手不及，不得不调整方向。”罗斯说道。根据这位政治学家的观点，从那以后，两人只是对时事事件做出反应。
One example of this is strategic foreign policy issues, such as dealing with Russia "For a long time, they pursued a policy based on integrating Russia into Europe, and then both were overwhelmed by the events of 2022 and had to adjust their course," said Ross. Since then, both have merely reacted to current affairs, according to the political scientist.
马克龙的理念缺乏支持。罗斯指出，埃马纽埃尔·马克龙为欧洲采取了一些大胆举措，但却没有得到柏林的支持。德国的政治领导层长期以来对巴黎提出的建议反应谨慎，同时也没有形成自己具体的构想。
Little support for Macron's ideas Emmanuel Macron has made some bold moves for Europe, but without support from Berlin, says Ross. Germany's political leadership as long reacted with caution to proposals from Paris, without developing any concrete ideas of their own.
两国最近向欧盟委员会推动的一项联合倡议旨在打击不公平竞争。通过不公平手段获得优势的国家将面临欧盟的严格措施。
joint initiative that both countries recently promoted to the European Commission is aimed at combating unfair competition. Countries that gain an advantage through unfair practices should face strict European measures.
马克龙与德国总理弗里德里希·默茨一同公开支持这一举措。尽管中国并未被明确提及，但这项倡议主要被视为针对该国。北京方面通过巨额补贴支持本国企业，这些企业的产品充斥欧洲市场，而欧洲企业则在试图进入中国市场时持续面临障碍。
Macron joined German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in speaking out in favor of this. Although China was not explicitly named, the initiative is seen to be primarily aimed at that country. Beijing uses enormous subsidies to support its companies, whose products flood the European market, while European firms continue to face barriers when trying to access the Chinese market.
欧洲国防部门正努力加强备战。要观看此视频，还需了解，德国和法国也长期寻求在国防领域加强合作。然而，大型联合国防项目进展甚微。今年6月，原计划联合研制的战斗机项目FCAS告吹后，官员们强调双方仍在继续合作开发未来的MGCS主战坦克。然而，在国事访问期间，双方在这一问题上的分歧也显露出来。
How Europe's defense sector is trying to gear up To view this video , and Germany and France have also long sought greater cooperation in the defense sector. Yet major joint defense projects are making little progress. When the planned joint fighter jet, the FCAS, fell through in June, officials emphasized ongoing cooperation on the future MGCS main battle tank. And yet differences on this became apparent during the state visit.
当德国国防部长鲍里斯·皮斯托留斯抵达巴黎时，法国总参谋长法比安·曼东在法国国民议会的一次听证会上表示，德国已决定退出该坦克项目。一天后，曼东澄清称自己的表述存在歧义。但一些观察人士认为，此类误解反映了双方在政治层面以下对彼此合作存在的不满。
As German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius arrived in Paris, French Chief of the General Staff Fabien Mandon stated during a hearing in the French National Assembly that Germany had decided to withdraw from the tank project. A day later, Mandon clarified that he had expressed himself ambiguously. But some observers believe that such misunderstandings are a sign of dissatisfaction on both sides — below the political level — regarding cooperation with the other partner.
在这种情况下，往往需要政治层面出面澄清事实。这一次也不例外：皮斯托留斯坚决否认该项目濒临取消的说法。“MGCS项目并未结束，也没有被叫停；任何人都没有终止它——恰恰相反。这是法德两国在陆战系统领域合作的核心项目。”这位德国国防部长表示。
It is this political level that often ends up having to set the record straight in such cases. This time was no exception: Pistorius firmly refuted the claim that the project was on the verge of being scrapped. "The MGCS project is not over it is not dead; it has not been terminated by anyone — quite the contrary. It is a core project of Franco-German cooperatio n on land systems," said the German defense minister.
该项目主要聚焦于战斗中的数字化信息处理，以及无人和自动化系统。皮斯托留斯强调，德国和法国将继续合作，而MGCS对两国及其武装部队而言都是一个重要的未来项目。
The focus is primarily on digital information processing in combat, as well as unmanned and automated systems. Germany and France would continue their cooperation, Pistorius insisted, and MGCS is an important future project for both countries and their armed forces.
法国和德国总统在巴黎市中心参加了一场仪式：国防与太空的未来。周五，法国和德国总统参观了位于波尔多附近的多个与太空探索和核威慑密切相关的设施。其中包括法德合资企业ArianeGroup，该公司除其他业务外，还为法国核潜艇制造可搭载核弹头的M51导弹。行程还包括对着眼长远未来的初创企业的参观。
The French and German Presidents took part in a ceremony in the heart of Paris The future of defense and space On Friday, the presidents of France and Germany visited several facilities near Bordeaux that are closely linked to space exploration and nuclear deterrence. These include ArianeGroup, a Franco-German company that, among other things, manufactures the nuclear-capable M51 missiles for French nuclear submarines. The itinerary also included visits to startups that are looking far into the future.
有非官方消息称，此次访问的重点是马克龙的个人优先事项。法国总统长期以来一直强调法国核威慑的欧洲维度。考虑到美国宣布将减少对欧洲的承诺，他的观点正获得越来越多的支持。
It was unofficially reported during the visit that this focus of the trip was a personal priority for Macron. The French president has long spoken of a European dimension to France's nuclear deterrent. Considering announcements from the US saying it would reduce its commitment to Europe, his views are gaining increasing traction.
早在2020年，马克龙就提议就法国核武器在欧洲安全中的作用展开战略对话。包括德国在内的多个国家此后都表达了兴趣。如今，各方正在考虑采取进一步行动。重点在于马克龙曾提出的“前瞻性威慑”，例如联合军事演习以及对具有战略重要性的地点进行访问。在法国核武器部署至他国方面，永久部署的方案仍被排除在外。此外，根据法国的核政策，法国始终保留对其核武器使用的唯一决策权。
As early as 2020, Macron proposed a strategic dialogue on the role of French nuclear weapons in European security. Several countries, including Germany, have since expressed interest. Now, further steps are being considered. The focus is on what Macron once called "forward deterrence," such as joint military exercises and visits to strategically important locations. A permanent deployment of French nuclear weapons in other countries remains off the table. Furthermore, according to French nuclear doctrine, France always retains sole decision-making authority over the use of its nuclear weapons.
施泰因迈尔对法国的为期两天的国事访问于周五下午结束。目前，法德关系尚未显现出新的活力。因此，两位总统的继任者亟需从明年开始，为两国关系的未来制定共同的愿景。
Steinmeier's two-day state visit to France ended on Friday afternoon. So far, there has been little sign of new momentum in Franco-German relations. This makes it all the more urgent for the successors to the two presidents to develop a shared vision for the future of the relationship between the two countries starting next year.
马克龙和施泰因迈尔将在2027年任期十年后几乎同时卸任。因此，此次对法国的国事访问也兼具最后一次共同会面的意义，期间举行了一些仪式性的告别活动。
Macron and Steinmeier will step down from their posts almost simultaneously in 2027 after ten years in office. The state visit to France thus also served as a final joint meeting, marked by some ceremonial farewells.
