You're right, it's not the ideal article on the subject.
[Edith to clarify: The article is factual but it doesn't give background on all the meddling that went on over the past few months since the snap election nonsense.]
I have been really curious about that, actually, but since I don't speak French, it's been hard for me to follow the post-election developments. Are you able to give a recap, or point me to a good summary somewhere?
