What is the capital of Tunisia?

What is the role of “en” in “il en est de la solidité de”?

Il en est … comme de … is actually a comparison. This means, depending of the context, these two things are doing as well as each other or these two things are working the same way.

In this article,

Il en est de la solidité des machines-outils «made in Germany» comme de la popularité d’Angela ­Merkel. Le temps ne les use pas.

could be rewritten this way:

La solidité des machines-outils «made in Germany» et la popularité d’Angela ­Merkel sont comparables : le temps ne les use pas.
