A Republic in Crisis: The French Elections

Mathias Corvinus Collegium Season 4 Episode 9

The first round of the French elections delivered a powerful victory to Marine Le Pen and a humiliating defeat for French President Emmanual Macron. With another round of elections on July 7th, however, the actual outcome of the election still remains to be seen. Will Macron be able to successfully ally with Far-Left forces to overcome Le Pen? Will center-right voters choose Le Pen or Macron? These questions and more are discussed by MCC’s leading French experts, Yann Caspar and Thibaud Gibelin, moderated by Stephen Sholl.

With the help of guest experts and politicians, in the podcast series of MCC’s Centre for Political Science we endeavor to analyze which actors are the real winners of the parliamentary and municipal elections taking place this year in different European countries and what exactly can be considered a real victory after the ballot counts.
