Is France at a breaking point? With multiple Prime Ministers coming and going, Emmanuel Macron’s coalition collapsing, and the French economy under strain, many are asking: Is this the end of the Macron era—or even the Fifth Republic itself?
In this episode, Justin Stares and Alexandra Phillips are joined by Charles-Henri Gallois, economic advisor to Jordan Bardella of the National Rally, who gives an insider’s view on the political chaos gripping France.
