Financement des politiques publiques : audition de Pierre-Edouard Stérin

On June 4, the Senate inquiry commission on the transparency of public policy financing heard testimony from Pierre-Edouard Stérin, president of the Common Good Fund. This was the first time the billionaire had appeared before a parliamentary inquiry commission. In 2025, he had twice refused to appear before the National Assembly's inquiry commission on "the organization of elections in France." An investigation was then opened by the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office. For failing to comply with these summonses, he faces two years in prison and a €7,500 fine. Before the senators, he defended the project behind his organizations, the Pericles Project and the Common Good Fund. He acknowledged his desire to disseminate "liberal and conservative right-wing" ideas in the public debate, so that those who identify with them can translate them into votes. Relive these exchanges.
