Catherine Field: France Correspondent on the deadlock in forming a permanent government
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Newstalk ZB - Keskiviikkoisin
French politics are still in a deadlock, with no permanent government in sight. President Emmanuel Macron's been holding talks with both the leftist New Popular Front and the far-right National Rally. National Rally leader Marine Le Pen says she'll block any potential left wing Prime Minister, despite the left securing more of the vote. France correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking the caretaker government is somewhat liked, but that could just be the lingering buzz from the Paris Olympics. She says no one's really woken up to the fact that France needs a real government as a caretaker government is constitutionally restrained.
