Political Turmoil in France

Here's Why host Stephen Carroll is in France this week covering the deepening political crisis that has gripped the country. We wanted to bring you a special episode of Bloomberg's Big Take podcast that he's been contributing to while there. We'll be back next week with a normal episode of the show.

The Big Take: After No-Confidence Vote, France Faces Tumult and Uncertainty

The government of French President Emmanuel Macron collapsed Wednesday after losing a no-confidence vote. The outcome brings the country one step closer to a far-right government — the one thing President Macron has sought to avoid at all costs.

Bloomberg’s Stephen Carroll and Big Take co-host David Gura break down the current pressures on France’s government, what led to the vote and what we know about what comes next.
