EU leaders have joined the French president in a solemn tribute to Jacques Delors in Paris
00:05
ahead of his funeral. The late EU commissioner, a founding father of the modern union, died
00:11
on December 27 at the age of 98. Emmanuel Macron led the ceremony at the historic Le
00:17
Invalides monument. He spoke of Delors` journey from local French politics to the pinnacle
00:23
of European power.
00:24
Jacques Delors never got tired of exploring to reconcile, to shed light, to create alternatives,
00:37
to build bridges, always walking towards this immutable horizon that was above all else,
00:44
human dignity.
00:45
The ode to joy rang out as the bloc`s current leaders bid their final farewells to a figure
00:51
many regarded as a European visionary. Delors was a firm believer in closer EU integration
00:58
and helped pave the way for transformational developments, including the single market,
01:03
the EU currency and the expansion of the union beyond Western Europe.
