Emmanuel Macron scrambled to maintain France's credibility after his snap election gamble failed to break political deadlock. The left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) won most seats in Sunday's second-round parliamentary vote, defying polls to beat both Macron's centrists and Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN). But no group wields an outright majority and no obvious candidate for prime minister has emerged. Many in France were relieved by the outcome, with cheering crowds gathering in Paris to celebrate. With potentially divisive talks on forming a new government just underway, three weeks before Paris welcomes the world as host of the Summer Olympics Games, FRANCE 24's Monte Francis is joined by Dr. Anna McKeever, Political Scientist, Lecturer in Political Science at the University of the West of Scotland and author of 'Immigration Policy and Right-Wing Populism in Western Europe'.
