YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

France was the birthplace of modern democracy, and it may well be the start of its end. After the surprise victory of the left New Popular Front in this year's elections, President Macron has betrayed democracy in a deal with the right to make Michel Barnier Prime Minister. Axel Persson, General Secretary of France's CGT Railroad Union, joins The Marc Steiner Show for a post-mortem of the election, its aftermath, and how the deterioration of French politics reflects global trends in the rise of the right and the erosion of democracy.
