Macron's Snap Election Gamble and a Conversation with Lieutenant General Michiel van der Laan

Update: 2024-06-18

Description

Max and Donatienne discuss the results from the European Parliament elections where the far-right made significant gains but failed to deliver a decisive blow to the incumbent centrist coalition (01:07 ). Then, they turn to a bold move by French President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve parliament and call snap elections after his liberal Renaissance party fared poorly in the EP election (07:50 ). Finally, they turn to a conversation with Lieutenant General Michiel van der Laan, the Director General of the EU Military Staff, for a conversation on the EU’s evolving role in defense policy and military affairs (15:33 ).
