Tour de Force - Will Macron Lead the Way to Another Europe?

Berlin European Dialogue on July 4, 2017, at Freie Universität Berlin. ' 173/2017 from Jun 28, 2017 The results of the French presidential election in June 2017 are the subject of the 7th Berlin European Dialogue on July 4, 2017, at Freie Universität Berlin. In a panel discussion, experts will explain why electoral behavior in France has changed fundamentally, what the prospects are for the various political parties, and how Germany and the European Union can work with President Emmanuel Macron. The pro-European social liberal Emmanuel Macron clearly won the French presidential elections. The right-wing populist Front National, however, was able to win more votes than ever before. Moreover, for the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, no representative of the traditional parties was represented in the run-off election. Macron will be able to tackle his planned reformed policy with a large majority of the parliament.
