Europe's continuous power game cards have been reshuffled as a consequence of a chill that has recently settled over the Rhine. The report says that the settlement is being seen following seven months the Socialist French President Francois Hollande's election.

It is being said that the resolve is probably a step by Hollande in order to show that he is in no way under Angela Merkel, the conservative Chancellor. Also, it seems that he is seeking changing the European Union's policy direction.

The report regarding the cooling of Franco-German relations, traditionally close, is also hinting that it is a laden process so that power could be rebalanced and Germany's greater political lift along with economic clout could be accommodated.

It has been found that Hollande was eager always to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy, his conservative predecessor's exclusive coalition with the German leader named Merkozy.

Though, closer cooperation was ever promised and the same would be celebrating the 50th anniversary the treaty's coming month. It is the belief that tension would persist possibly until German general election next September.

"It's not an easy dialogue. The fact that France was in an electoral cycle for a year and now Germany is in an electoral cycle for a year doesn't help", Hollande's Socialist Party's parliamentary floor leader Bruno Le Roux affirmed.
