Forum on the French general elections
'In the midst of geopolitical and economic upheaval enveloping most of the world, French citizens went to the polls four times. On 24 April, they re-elected Emanuel Macron to the Elysee Palace, and on 19 June they cast their vote in the second round of the parliamentary elections. Macron may have won, but there can be no doubt his position is weakened. For the coming five years, he will be facing pressure from both the Far Right and the newly united Left.
To make sense of this new political landscape and to tell us what this means for Europe, the balance of power in the EU and the relations with the UK, we are delighted to welcome Francois deCoster, Member of the European Committee of the Regions and Renew Europe, to a joint LDEG and LIBG event on 28 June. Other speakers to be announced.
This meeting will be held online. Details on how to register for the Zoom link will follow.
