The French Elections and Their Meaning for Europe

On April 8, I participated on a panel entitled “The critical French elections and their meaning for Europe” at the Delphi Economic Forum in Delphi, Greece.  The forum is a yearly event gathering political, business, and academic leaders from Greece and around world to discuss the so-called “big issues” in a variety of fields, from business and economics to politics and the classics.

At the event, I discussed the dangers for the European Union as well as for France were Marine Le Pen to win in the second round of the French Presidential elections, and then explained why President Macron has been a visionary leader for the EU so far, and would likely be a progressive force in the next few years were he re-elected.
