Chancellor Merz, President Macron and entourage have arrived at #EUsummit25. 🇩🇪🇫🇷

Merz so far mentions that we are too dependent on foreign powers such as China and the US, and that we need European innovation like #Eurostack. 🇪🇺

Merz: "Because of our size and position, Germany and France carry a special responsibility to realize digital sovereignty."

Macron: "Europe doesn't to be the clients of foreign big tech. We want to design our own solutions."

@Gina meanwhile the German state Bavaria is proud to buy its digital sovereignty from Microsoft (sorry for the German article): https://www.rnd.de/wirtschaft/trotz-warnungen-bayern-will-sich-von-microsoft-abhaengig-machen-M3PX74OJRBDQZBGZB4P636JBF4.html

RND.de

Trotz Warnungen: Bayern will sich von Microsoft abhängig machen

Bayern will seine Kommunen offenbar flächendeckend mit dem US-Dienst Microsoft 365 ausstatten. Vertreter der bayerischen IT-Branche protestieren mit einem offenen Brief. Der Vorwurf: Enorme Kosten – und ein Rückschlag für die digitale Souveränität.

@Gina Merz should be slapped.

I won't add more as I just broke my rule to not engage in politics 🤐

@Gina all talk. Europe is decades behind those countries and with all the restrictions and hurdles for companies in that sector, it's not gonna change quickly.
Sorry, but the future lies in Asia.

@Gina Pity the two leaders are among the less trusted in the bloc.
