Navigating Through France’s Political Storm

On Sunday night, French President Emmanuel Macron called for snap national assembly elections, following disappointing results from the European election, that confirmed victory for Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (RN),  and a clear defeat for his party, Renaissance.

In this episode, host Giada Santana and reporter Théo Bourgery-Gonse analyse what will come out of France’s political storm, with original comments from Greens co-chair Melanie Vogel, and RN youth director Pierre Romain Thionnet.  Plus additional reporting from Paul Messad and Nathan Canas.
