On July 7, French voters headed to the polls in the second round of the French elections. The results showed the left and green party alliance winning the most votes, Macron's Ensemble Party coming in second, and Le Pen's far-right National Rally coming in a surprise third.
No election contender was able to win a clear-cut majority, however. What does the result of the election mean for the political landscape in France and the ability of President Macron to govern?
On this episode of #AtlanticDebrief, Jörn Fleck sits down with Amb. Gérard Araud, Distinguished Fellow at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center, to unpack the implications of the French election results and the emerging power struggles in French politics.
