Lourtie’s Secret Calls and EU Tensions | Europe News
Description
Pedro Lourtie, Europe’s quiet diplomat, is juggling EU summits and secret calls to Moscow — sparking fury in Berlin and Paris but shielding the bloc’s fragile unity. Tasked with stitching together 27 fractured capitals, he’s now navigating a political minefield after two brief, Kremlin-linked calls ordered by President Costa — all under the guise of future diplomacy. While critics call it premature, allies credit Lourtie’s finesse and Costa’s trust. With the EU’s 1.8 trillion euro budget hanging in the balance, his ability to unite nations — and calm tempers — could make or break Europe’s next chapter.
