What happened in the first round of the French snap elections? | A Debrief from Amb. Gérard Araud

#atlanticdebrief
What are the key takeaways from the first round of the French parliamentary elections? Why was voter turnout so high? Will the left and center blocs be able to form tactical alliances in the upcoming runoff elections? What are the implications of a hung Parliament for France’s foreign policy agenda? What would the dynamics between President Macron and National Rally look like?
On this episode of #AtlanticDebrief, Jörn Fleck sits down with Ambassador Gérard Araud, Distinguished Fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center, to unpack the first round of the French Parliamentary elections.
