Description

Extreme right-wing ideology is spreading. As France prepares for presidential elections in April, two candidates on the far-right are vying to replace current centrist President Emmanuel Macron. The right-wing darling Marine Le Pen and the even more extreme Eric Zemmour drive a daily political agenda of xenophobia, anti-globalization, anti-elites, and anti-immigration. This isn’t just a French phenomenon. Right-wing parties are becoming extremist in much of the West-- from Scandinavia to Spain and across the ocean to America.    Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Alain Frachon, senior columnist and former Foreign Editor of Le Monde. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic delves into where today’s youth is headed on the political spectrum as anti-capitalist sentiment increases.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Altamar is dedicated to curating an informative discussion on how global issues impact all of us. The show avoids the typical Washingtonian US bias and talks about accelerating changes from a global perspective by featuring diverse guests on a range of foreign policy topics. We aim to rise above the polarization that detracts from the public’s understanding of crucial global issues. Hosted by political analyst Peter Schechter and columnist Muni Jensen.
