Mbappé vs Le Pen: The Battle for France
About this episode
The episode discusses the political implications of the French football team's performance and Marine Le Pen's rising popularity amidst a political crisis in France.
On this 14th of July, as Les Bleus face Spain in the semi-final, France is heading into a political crisis that could reshape Europe because where France goes, Europe usually follows. We dig into why Marine Le Pen is now the favourite for the presidency, why the French football team has become her loudest critic, and, with France on the brink, why a World Cup win might yet influence politics in a way that few sporting achievements have ever done before.
