French snap elections: ‘A complete reshuffle of the political landscape’

Macron's shock Sunday announcement has left left-wing and right-wing parties scrambling to come up with alliances and common programmes, marking "a complete reshuffle of the political landscape in France", FRANCE 24's James Andre said.
