Catherine Field: France Correspondent on France's new coalition government and the mood towards them - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

There’s scepticism over how well the surprise winners of France's parliamentary election will work together.  

The left wing New Popular Front coalition beat out the centrist Ensemble party and far-right National Rally, who had been hopefuls after a successful first round of voting just over a week ago.

She says she'd have very little confidence in them, adding they're made up of such a wide range of left-wing opinions.
