All right, Alexander. Let's talk about the French elections, which are coming up very soon.

0:07.8

A couple of weeks. Incredible.

0:10.8

Macron, the most despised man in all of Europe and in all of France.

0:17.9

How are things looking for Macron and his party as they headed to the elections?

0:25.6

Well, the parliament, the parliament elections, not the president. Macron is not up for re-election.

0:31.2

Just want to say that because sometimes a lot of people believe that it's Macron. That's up for

0:36.8

elections. Yeah, the, the interesting

0:38.8

in the cabinet about this. He took them completely by surprise. The story that he consulted

1:43.6

Nicholas Sarkozy, the previous French

1:46.1

president, and that Sarkozy advised him to call the elections, has turned out to be completely

1:52.2

untrue. Sarkozy has come out and said, I had absolutely nothing to do with this crazy idea.

1:57.9

Anyway, you see this photo, you see this row of people looking at Macron and the anger

2:05.0

in all their faces, the sort of controlled fury as they hear what Macron is telling them.

2:13.3

And as one French commentator said, a look of almost hatred in some of the eyes, it's all there to see.

2:22.5

It's quite remarkable.
