What's next after surprise French election results? | Radio Schuman

With the coalition of the left leading in the French elections, followed by Emmanuel Macron's party 'Together', Radio Schuman analysed the results and looked at the possibilities for a future government.

We spoke to French political analyst Olivia Lazard from Carnegie Europe who dissected the unexpected outcome.

Euronews' Alice Tidey and Lauren Chadwick gave us a flavour from on the ground, where they were reporting from the National Rally and the New Popular Front headquarters on Sunday evening.

To prep you for the summer holidays, on a lighter note, we considered the most annoying things that tourists do on vacation - so you won't repeat them.

Argentina’s Milei marks one year in office. Here's how his shock measures are reshaping the economy
When libertarian President Javier Milei assumed office one year ago, Argentine supermarkets were marking price increases on an almost daily basis. It was popular outrage over this upside-down economy that fueled the rise of Milei, a self-declared “anarcho-capitalist” and former TV pundit who rode to power on vows to “blow up” the central bank, take an axe to the bloated government and kill sky-high inflation. It was an almost impossible job, and Milei's lack of government experience, unkempt hairdo, sexual boasts and missionary-like zeal for his dead dog, the Rolling Stones and the free market didn't inspire much confidence in a country with a history of failed economic reforms.
