Discover the drama unfolding in France - from film festivals to political chaos and soccer injuries! 🇫🇷⚽📽️
The French Film Festival Aotearoa is captivating audiences in New Zealand, showcasing the magic of French cinema at the NPDC's Len Lye Centre Cinema in New Plymouth. Meanwhile, the political landscape in France is tumultuous, with snap elections revealing the fantasy economics of the far right and left. The stakes are high for Emmanuel Macron, as campaigning heats up for the upcoming parliamentary election, where the far-right National Rally is predicted to secure a victory.
Amidst the chaos, France's centrists are facing a crisis as they struggle to find a liberal successor to Macron, with concerns that the country is 'going to the dogs'. On the sports front, France kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Austria, marred by star player Kylian Mbappe breaking his nose during the match.
In the aftermath of the game, the French team celebrates their win but also worries about Mbappe's injury. Despite the setback, Mbappe is expected to recover without needing surgery, although he will don a protective mask when he returns to action. As tensions rise in France both on the political and sports fronts, the nation braces for further twists and turns in the weeks to come.
