In the forty-third episode of the EU to go podcast, Thu Nguyen, Johannes Lindner, and Nils Redeker discuss the implications of the recent French elections and the challenges posed for Europe.
The European elections took place over a month ago. In some member states, such as Germany and France, the right-wing parties made strong gains. On the same evening of the election, President Macron dropped a bombshell and called for new elections for the French National Assembly. Less than four weeks later, the French left-wing alliance achieved a surprising victory. But what do these latest election results in France mean for the future political direction of the EU?
Before we head into the summer break, Thu Nguyen, Johannes Lindner and Nils Redeker analyse the election results in France and the EU, discuss the new political priorities and take a look at the challenges ahead for the European Union. What will be important for the next EU Commission and how will its agenda determine the future course of Europe? In this episode of "EU to go" you can find out which new political priorities need to be set – explained briefly and concisely, as always.
