Jean-Marie Le Pen Dies, an Anniversary, and the Socialist Party Splits
Sacre Bleu: The French Presidential Election Podcast.Show Notes
Flep24 is back with a new name—Flep24/7—after a long winter break marked by illness and despair…but French political news never stops. The patriarch of the National Rally is dead, it’s the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, and the Socialist Party looks like it’s going to betray the left wing alliance. We talk about Jean-Marie Le Pen’s assiduously documented history of torture, debates on the left about Charlie, and debates on the left (and the Socialist Party) about collaborating with the new government.
All that and more—and plenty more episodes to come in 2025 from Flep24/7.
