Summer Top10: A French non to the far right

from Today in the EU · host Euractiv

Defying expectations the French left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front, overtook Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, coming first during the second and final round of France’s snap elections on Sunday (7 July). The left-wing coalition, however, has not secured an absolute majority, therefore questions arise about who will be the country’s next prime minister, and which parties could collaborate to form a government. To break down what the future holds for French politics, I’m joined by our Paris-based reporter Théo Bourgery-Gonse.
