Macron's gambit in France, 'lame ducks' at the G7
Manage episode 423629707 series 2651905
It's been a week of political aftershocks in France, after the earthquake that was President Emmanuel Macron's sudden decision to call snap elections. His gambit, in testing the far right's EU election triumph and his banking on it being just a sign of voter frustration, is an "all the chips on the table" moment and early polls suggest the National Rally is still on course for victory. Meanwhile, an "electionally challenged" G7 gathers in Italy.
Produced by Gavin Lee, Luis Miguel Cabrera, Guillaume Gougeon and Laura Burloux.
