Given France's leading position in the EU, we discuss, with George Tassiopoulos (PhD in Political Sciences, empirical and theoretical expert in French and European politics and political parties), the influence of the 2022 French parliamentary elections regarding:


- sanctions toward Russia,


- the presidential (Macron's) "national and European sovereignty" programme and the president's authority in foreign policy,


- the reality about Mr Mélenchon (NUPES) and Mrs LePen (Rassemblement National),


- the synergies between the presidency and the newly elected national assembly (parliament),


- the lessons we take from the French parliamentary elections about our maturity as EU citizens of democracies.
