'Arrogant' Macron and the mess in France

ABC News Daily - Un podcast de ABC

French President Emmanuel Macron called a snap parliamentary election, in a game of chicken with the French people, hoping they’d swerve away from backing right-wing parties which enjoyed support in the European Union vote last month.  After two rounds of voting, a coalition of left-wing parties won the most seats. It has blocked the far-right from taking power but left the country with no dominant political force and the prospect of months of negotiations to form a government. Today, Emmanuel Macron’s gamble and the political mess left behind. Featured:  William Drozdiak, Global Fellow with the Wilson Center's Global Europe Program and a former Washington Post foreign editor
