A list of puns related to "First Philippe government"
Hello,
In one of my last classes at my University before it went online due to Covid-19, we spoke about France during the cold war and the legacy of Vichy France. I was curious if the French government had any suspicions regarding Philippe Petain, for example prior to his appointment on June 16th, 1940 as PM? As I understand he was a bit of a moral critic after the war and a national hero for his defense at Verdun. Did they suspect him of possibly being connected with far-right elements (from what I understand France was thoroughly divided nation politically) or was it a complete surprise when he capitulated and began a Fascist, collaborationist government?
Sweden's new prime minister Magdalena Andersson visited Finland today. Traditionally, Swedish PMs make their first foreign trip to Finland, and Finnish PMs/presidents go to Sweden. Do other countries have these traditions?
