#18 Elections in France: A Country’s Fragmentation

In this episode, we sit down with political expert Julien Navarro to dissect the recent French elections. We explore the turning point of 9 June, when Macron called for early elections, we analyse the dynamics between La France Insoumise (France Unbowed, LFI) and the Rassemblement National (National Rally, RN), and we assess the risks and challenges facing France after the elections.
