This week is all about the 2024 Paris Olympics. The beauty of the opening ceremony but also how some French politicians find fault with certain participants. And as is becoming a tradition we discuss whether France has a new prime minister.

We also discuss what the Olympic mascot is supposed to represent. Turns out it is not what I, Pepijn, had as a first thought.

Again thanks for the feedback we received on the earlier episodes!

We discuss how the unrest in New Caledonia affects the national assembly, how in the national assembly there were more votes cast than there are members, and how a bored and overconfident group of Macronists accidentally help the left. Oh, and then there's the Questeur!

There was a LOT to discuss this week and thus the episode is a bit long. As we're still finding our feet do let us know what you think. We very much appreciate it :-)

What is next after the surprising outcome of the French elections. We (that is Juliette and Pepijn) discuss why France finds it difficult to find a path forward in a difficult political situation.
