EU election results / International Gastronomy Forum, Macau
2024-06-14
On this week's programme, we're talking about the EU election results, as far-right parties made significant gains seconding the centre-right.
In a move sending shock waves within his own camp, French President Emmanuel Macron called for snap legislative elections later this month, after his pro-EU movement Renaissance garnered less than half the National Rally’s support.
Some analysts say that President Macron hopes the snap elections will help contain the surge of the far-right, a risky gamble critics say could turn against odds and see Marine Le Pen's acolyte Jordan Bardella become Prime Minister.
Meanwhile in Germany, the centre-right CDU/CSU alliance claimed victory, followed by the far-right AFD which became the strongest party in eastern states.
What do these results tell us about the EU's trajectory? We find out.
After 9:45, we speak to Macau's tourism chief Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, as the SAR is hosting a 10-day gastronomy forum
