Beautiful beef: Le Pen, Varoufakis and the horseshoe theory of politics

  • Summary

  • What do Marine Le Pen, Yanis Varoufakis and Donald Trump have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode of EU Confidential, host Sarah Wheaton breaks down the court decision that could end Le Pen's political career as well as the fallout for France's far right. With POLITICO’s Clea Caulcutt giving us the latest from Paris, Yanis Varoufakis — the former Greek finance minister and leader of left-wing party Mera25 — joins to discuss his controversial defense of Le Pen, and why he believes Europe’s political future is on the line. His stance got us thinking about the horseshoe theory of politics: Are the far left and far right really that different? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
