The second round of voting Sunday in France will choose the next prime minister, in effect, and the party that will control the French legislature. The far-right party of Marine Le Pen led the first round. French elites have long considered this anti-immigrant and nationalist party too extreme to govern. And now they have a shot after they pulled ahead of the left and also ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance, which was a distant third in the voting. The interior minister says he worries that reactions on Sunday could lead to mayhem. Well, let's bring in Sylvain Bourmeau. He's a professor at the Sorbonne University and also edits an analysis and opinion website called AOC Media. Welcome.
