France’s Twin Crisis: Is France in a Pre-revolutionary State?

The situation in France is starting to look very similar to 1787. With a fiscal crisis currently generating a constitutional crisis, it is hard not to hear echoes on the old debates around the Estates General. How bad are the French finances? And what does this mean for the future of the Fifth Republic?

Swedish opinion columnist and blogger Malcom Kyeyune will be a co-panellist to broaden the perspective. His work focuses mainly on the broader political crises that now face many countries in the West at the dawn of the multipolar age.

Featured participants:

• Malcolm Kyeyune, Swedish writer and commentator, UnHerd
• Hugo Martin, Researcher, Danube Institute

Moderator:

• Philip Pilkington, Macroeconomist and Visiting Fellow, Danube Institute
