Anatomy of a Fall

Marlon and Olly meet up in La Villette to recap the second week of the French legislative elections in 2024.

 

Birds, laughing children, and a beautiful sunny day can't stop them from discussing the political state of play in that country of countries France, that city of cities, Paris.

 

They talk about the consolidation of the right wing block, the prospects for a right wing victory, the turn in French civil society towards giving the RN a chance, and the civil servants and ministers breaking down the gates to let them in.

 

The right's opening up a big gap, and the left wing forces are putting up a fight for it in the streets of Montreuil with pamphlets and calls to vote. Will it be enough? Or will Le Pen come to power, motored by gallons of reactionary Catholic billionaire money?

 

Keep tuning in to find out.
