La doctrine Costa, une conversation avec le président du Conseil européen | Le Grand Continent
L’unité — sans les tabous. À Porto — à la veille de son départ pour l’Assemblée générale des Nations-Unies et à l’issue d’une tournée européenne qui l’a vu rencontrer les 27 chefs d’État et de gouvernement — nous avons rencontré le président du Conseil européen.
