Catherine Field: France Correspondent on Emmanuel Macron's snap election

French President Emmanuel Macron has called a snap election after his party suffered a heavy defeat in elections for the European Parliament.  Exit polls put Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party well ahead of Macron’s pro-European centrists.  France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking “The reason this came so out of nowhere – is that it’s not meant to be about local politics.”  Field said “Macron’s felt he had no choice but to call these elections.”  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
