French election may be closer than some think

While markets are pricing in a victory for Emmanuel Macron over National Rally party leader, Marine Le Pen, in the presidential elections in France this weekend, the real interest will come in June. 

 

The legislature elections will be where Macron will hope to find support for his push to raise the retirement age, combat inflation and deal with climate change. 

 

IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor caught up with Chris Davis, content contributor for The Bruges Group, who said it will be difficult to see how the political ground lies regarding where the votes that went for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, in the presidential race, go in the legislature.
