Episode description
Defying expectations the French left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front, overtook Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, coming first during the second and final round of France’s snap elections on Sunday (7 July).

To break down what the future holds for French politics, I’m joined by our Paris-based reporter Théo Bourgery-Gonse.
