Eye on the French Election

Listen Later

France heads to the polls this weekend, and the far right looks set to come out on top. President Emmanuel Macron threw the dice with this snap election after his Centrist party was trounced by Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in recent European Parliament elections. Correspondent Melissa Bell has more on how Le Pen has reshaped the party’s dark origins into an apparently palatable mainstream alternative. 

Also on today's show: Legal analyst Carrie Cordero on today's US Supreme Court abortion ruling; Simon Kuper, author of Impossible City: Paris in the Twenty-First Century; singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc; Civil rights leader Carmen Perez-Jordan; Imara Jones, Founder, TransLash Media
