Following on from our news summary for 2014, we bring you the events that marked 2015!
→
We will distinguish, as was the case in our previous summary, on the one hand, the events that had an international treatment, that were talked about and followed around the world; on the other hand, the issues that were of particular interest to France, which were more of a specifically French focus.
We will not pretend here to give an exhaustive account of the past year 2015, but rather we will highlight the events or facts that have marked the attention of the media, which have had an echo in the news and political papers, what has mobilized attention.
