Listener Picks: What Direction for the French Left? / Jacob Hamburger

Journalist Jacob Hamburger examines the present state and future choices of France's left wing insurgent movement La France Insoumise - rebelling against the failures of France's mainstream socialist party and the successes of its center right neoliberal president, and wavering between chasing populist energy and uniting a splintered French left.

Jacob wrote the article "Whose Populism? The Mixed Messages of La France Insoumise" for Dissent.
