ABOUT THE EVENT
 
It has been a momentous and bewildering year for politics in France: from the European Parliament elections to the French legislative elections to the appointment of a new Prime Minister, little went according to plan. In this conversation with Frédéric Mérand, we will examine the year in French politics when (almost) everything went wrong.
