France, Fascism and the Fate of Europe

In today's episode, we welcome back Prof. Tom Bruyer of VIVES University to talk about the rise of far-right politics in France. We'll examine whether President Emmanuel Macron can hold on to power in upcoming elections and discuss Marine Le Pen's surprising re-appearance on the French political scene. We also take a brief look at other up and coming figures on the far-right such as Zemmour. Could Le Pen's far-right political party attain electoral success in 2022, and will it set the tone for French politics for some time to come? Join us as we struggle to understand the political climate of France and what that might mean for the fate of Europe.
