Dr Françoise Boucek, Visiting Research Fellow at Queen Mary University of London was interviewed by Polish public broadcaster TVP about about the recent French elections. She said: "People can't really relate to what the regional councils are responsible for particularly since they have been local government reforms and so they can't really relate. Things like local transport, vocational training, regional development, don't really affect people's everyday lives."
