France Staves Off the Far Right—This Time
Manage episode 427998761 series 2463633
France’s far-right looked ready to take control of the National Assembly after the first round of snap elections. But when the dust settled after the second round, the left and center had held.
Though French progressives are celebrating for now, the right-wing National Rally party still took more parliament seats than it’s ever held before.
Guest: Harrison Stetler, freelance journalist based in Paris.
