France has been gripped by two occasions which might be occurring within the coming weeks.
One is the Summer time Olympic Video games in Paris. The opposite is the snap election referred to as by President Emmanuel Macron after Marine Le Pen’s far-right Nationwide Rally occasion made enormous good points in European elections.
With Macron’s Ensemble alliance teetering on the sting of collapse, the stakes couldn’t be greater. His choice to name an early election has galvanised all sides of the political spectrum.
However can Macron’s centrist imaginative and prescient survive? Or is the France’s republic on the point of a big political shift?
