In this episode of Radio Schuman, we explore the complexities of French politics with insights from Pierre Sellal, France’s former Permanent Representative to the EU.

Sellal discusses how a potential far-right government in France might influence EU policies without direct conflict.

We delve into the challenges of coalition-building in France, the nation's unique political dynamics, and why French presidents often face widespread disapproval.
