François Hollande: meet the former French President

For five years, François Hollande has been leading the way in French politics. Throughout the challenges he has encountered, he has engaged with both France's allies and its opponents.

Having been a firsthand observer who transitioned into a key decision-maker, François Hollande delivers in his latest essay, Bouleversements, an analysis on the new geopolitical order:
“Russia's invasion of Ukraine reveals that over the last decade the world has undergone a transformation that has upset balances, overturned hierarchies, and exposed major dangers for the planet: health, climate, security and politics. Democracies are being put to the test. Internally by populists, externally by the return of empires. Europe now faces its destiny: to be a power or a nostalgia.” François Hollande, Bouleversements (Stock, 2022)

On November 7, the former French President will share over an exclusive lunch his enlightened diagnosis, proposing a course of action in the face of this new geopolitical order.

The conference will be followed by a book signing session of "Bouleversements: Pour comprendre la nouvelle donne mondiale", François Hollande (Stock, 2022).
