Novara FM: Macron’s Own Goal w/ Olly Haynes
Manage episode 428362251 series 3034213
The French left have played a blinder. Or, at least, the centre-right chaos agent and French President Emmanuel Macron has played it for them.
Macron called snap elections, hoping to crush both the left and right. He failed. Instead, the far right briefly surged, coming top in the first round before a newly cohesive French left took the largest share in the second, decisive round.
Is this the end of the Fifth Republic?
Olly Haynes tells Richard Hames about the long crises of French politics, the absurdities of Macronism and whether France is heading for a fascist party in power.
