Will the French government likely fall, and how will that hit Brussels? | Radio Schuman

How France's political instability will hit Brussels is today's topic for Radio Schuman, which talked with Euronews reporter Gregoire Lory.

If a vote of no-confidence surrounding the budget succeeds, French Prime Minister Michel Barnier will be forced to step down, leaving a caretaker government in charge. This political turmoil further weakens President Emmanuel Macron, who may face pressure to resign or appoint a new Prime Minister.

Meanwhile, despite gaining concessions on the budget, far-right leader Marine Le Pen faces challenges to her presidential ambitions due to a recent indictment for allegedly embezzling EU funds.

In the second segment of the podcast, we take a quick look at an Italian ruling on those countries deemed safe for migrant returns, which is relevant for Brussels.

In the last part of the show, Radio Schuman looks at companies profiting from wars.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by  David Brodheim and Georgios Leivaditis. Music by Alexandre Jas.
