Roundtable: Can Macron succeed where others have failed?

France's new president came to power offering fresh ideas and a radically different outlook – the voters encapsulated perhaps by his youth and lack of political baggage. Has Emmanuel Macron lived up to his promises? Those who've known him for years - and don't forget he's now only just 40 - say he was always "different." So, can Macron build France in his own image; make it a country to shape Europe in the 21st century? Or has he already left voters feeling short-changed? At the Roundtable was Gavin Mortimer, a writer and historian; Diego Zuluaga, an economist at the Institute of Economic Affairs and the director of Epicenter - a collection of think tanks focusing on European policy; Carlson Anyangwe, an African politics analyst; and Joseph Downing, a specialist in French politics at the London School of Economics. Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
