Totes les cares de França

France is in full political and social turmoil. President Macron, who unleashed so many passions at the beginning of his term, now faces a difficult situation. The young and ambitious politician, with a meteoric career, no longer has an absolute majority in the National Assembly, where the extreme right of Marine Le Pen has more deputies than he would have imagined. The context of international crisis due to the pandemic and the war in Ukraine has been aggravated by massive protests against the government's plans, which have ignited the streets -especially in France, which is farthest from Paris-. The old French grandeur, shaken by the effects of globalization and the new international polarization, trembles before the future. The journalist Montserrat Besses, who has a long experience as a correspondent for TV3 in Paris and a connection of more than forty years with France, offers a current and incisive portrait of this country through the symbol of Marianne, the incarnation -the face- of the French Republic.
