Both TASS and RIA Novosti interviewed the Schiller Institute’s Sébastien Périmony on the occasion of his attendance at the international meeting in Moscow of high representatives in charge of security issues. The TASS interview on May 26, the day prior to the beginning of the four-day meeting, was entitled, “Expert Périmony Called the Meeting on Security in Moscow Decisive.” Their coverage is summarized:
The “French journalist and expert at the Schiller Institute” said: “The meeting of high security representatives is of fundamental importance for the future of the world. Representatives of almost 130 countries who will attend it intend to confront numerous challenges. After all, the tension caused by the transition to a multipolar world, which is resisted by states seeking to maintain their hegemony at any cost, could lead the world to a global war, which would certainly be nuclear.” Unless France changes its rhetoric, it will be left behind. “I will take part in the meeting so that France’s voice is heard. It must radically change its policy in order to play its role in this new paradigm of the world, based on the sovereignty of nations and the principles of mutual benefit,” the expert noted. To be sovereign, France must closely cooperate with the BRICS member countries, which defend respect for the independence and autonomy of all states, and cooperate with Moscow against neo-Nazism, international terrorism and destabilizations in the Sahel.
