Interview on South African Television

On Saturday, April 23, I was interviewed on the French elections (to be held on April 24) by the South African Television news Channel SABC for their News Program “The Globe 2020 SABC NEWS.” The main focus of the questions was what would happen were Marine Le Pen elected President of the French Republic, with questions focused on what she would do in France and in Europe, and what would the implications be for the rest of the globe, and in particular Africa.  My main response was that it would be a disaster all around—for France in terms of civil rights, Europe in terms of joint responses to crises, and Africa in terms of an even greater hardening of immigration policy.
