The French presidential elections have captured attention around the world, with the populist firebrand Marine Le Pen facing off with political newcomer Emmanuel Macron. As the final round of voting approaches, Tom Carver is joined by Erik Brattberg, director of Carnegie’s DC-based Europe Program, and Pierre Vimont, a senior fellow at Carnegie Europe in Brussels to discuss France’s rising frustration with “politics as usual” that has led to such a riveting contest.
Erik Brattberg is director of the Europe Program and a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. He joined Carnegie from the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University, where he was the director for special projects and a senior fellow.
Pierre Vimont is a senior fellow at Carnegie Europe.
