In France, an unexpected election sent the far-right National Rally to third place while the New Popular Front clinched first place. Without a clear majority, the question now is who will be the new French Prime Minister. Across the English Channel, everything seemed set in stone for a clear Labor victory – the first after 14 years of Conservative rule. Here, the question was not if Labor would win but by how much. In the first part of today’s show, host Catarina Vila Nova speaks with Shahin Vallée, Head of the Geo-Economics Programme at the German Council on Foreign Relations and a European Young Leader, about the French results. In the second part of today’s episode, you’ll hear from Magid Magid Magid, Founder and Director of Union of Justice, Trustee of Friends of Europe and 2019 European Young Leader (EYL40), about the British elections.
