National Assembly without a majority: France-EU ties in uncharted territory
Manage episode 428558679 series 3308476
It seems that France is going to have to learn coalition politics after a parliamentary election in which no party or bloc came close to winning an absolute majority. Germany and other countries have experience of grand coalitions, but in France, a win-or-lose mentality has been dominant among French politicians, and the last power-sharing ended 22 years ago. In this edition we discuss the implications of this stalemate for the EU – France being a founding member of the European project and whose partnership with Germany provided the basis for European integration.
Programme prepared by Isabelle Romero, Sophie Samaille and Perrine Desplats
