  • Hello and welcome to the curator of Monaco Radio with me, Fernando Gusto Pacheco.

  • Over the next 60 minutes, I'll be bringing you some of the very best interviews and reports from the past week of coverage on Monaco Radio.

  • This week, France is back to political bickering now that the Olympics is over.

  • France enjoyed the Games, was passionate about it, there was happiness.

  • In the end, the French stopped bickering and even moaning for that duration.

  • So that was quite unusual.

  • But now, of course, political reality is back.

  • Plus the man responsible for the stage design of Taylor Swift's Era St.

  • All that and much more in the next hour here on the Curator with me, Fernando Gusto Paseko.

  • And sad news for all sports lovers.

  • The Paris Olympics ended last Sunday.

  • Now that the party is over, and as the smoke clears, the political parties in France are back to bickering over who will be Prime Minister.

  • Let's hear from Philippe Marliere, professor of French and European Politics at University College, London.

  • France now faces a reality check, clearly, because Emmanuel Macron decided on a political truce a couple of weeks ago, just when the Games were about to start.

  • It was very convenient because, yes, France has no government following the snap election of a month ago, France still doesn't have a government.

  • The people in charge of the Games, in fact, were the incumbent government, which lost the election a month ago.

  • So Macron now needs then very quickly to form a government, or at least he needs to respond to his opponents.

  • To start with, the left, which came on top of the election, has put forward a name, Lucy Castetz, that's the name of the female politician who would be wannabe prime minister.

  • And he's got a reply.

  • I mean, that name put forward was put forward to him before the game.
