Many of France’s allies breathed a sigh of relief that the worst was averted as Marine Le Pen’s far-right failed to win a snap election on Sunday but they noted that a messy coalition from a hung parliament could also pose headaches for Europe. Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) had been favourite to top the polls, raising the risk of France’s first far-right government since World War Two and threatening to upend economic and foreign policy in the euro zone’s second-largest economy. As France unexpectedly shifts to the left, facing a hung parliament, FRANCE 24 is joined by Danièle Obono, Member of French Parliament, France Unbowed and Olivia Polski, Deputy Mayor of Paris in charge of human resources, member of the Socialist Party and New Popular Front.
