Mathieu BOCK-CÔTÉ

Sociologist, Essayist & Columnist

Originally from Quebec, Mathieu Bock-Côté is a sociologist, essayist, and regular columnist for Le Figaro and CNews. Through his publications and media presence, he has become one of the most influential voices of the conservative right in both Canada and France.

In his latest essay, Les Deux Occidents (The Two Wests), published in October, he analyses the widening gap between the United States—described as a "Trumpist America", both populist and conservative—and Europe, which he argues continues to defend a "progressive" vision of the world. In this context, he describes Europe as "neo-Soviet", pointing to heavy bureaucracy, the juridification of social life, ideological imposition, and restrictions on freedoms in the name of the rule of law.

Interpretation will be available in French, English, Italian, Polish and Romanian.

A book-signing session with Mr Bock-Côté will follow the conference.
