In an interview with France 24, Luis Vassy, ​​director of Sciences Po Paris and former ambassador to the Netherlands, returned to the upheavals taking place on the international scene and considered that Europe is an empire which must learn to "project power, at least to protect itself". He also explained that the crisis experienced by Sciences Po Paris following the demonstrations in support of Gaza on campus did not cause "stifling of debate" and that "freedom of expression is total" in the establishment.
