Pierre Rosanvallon : « Lorsque la confiance s’effondre, une société peut s’effondrer »

After several months marked by the dissolution of the National Assembly, legislative elections, and the appointment of a new government, the question of an institutional crisis is emerging in France. For historian and sociologist Pierre Rosanvallon, the proper functioning of a society depends on respect for what he calls "invisible institutions," in other words, trust, legitimacy, and authority; without these, power can falter, he believes. For the professor emeritus at the Collège de France, the crisis of these invisible institutions can be resolved by a return to "proximity," the source of citizens' trust. This proximity is found in particular in the transparency of political leaders, as guaranteed, for example, by the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life. Without this, democracies could be threatened by "populisms": a phenomenon observed, for example, in the United States, he describes. 🔴 To follow all the latest political and parliamentary news, subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/publicse... 👉 Our website: http://www.publicsenat.fr ▶️ Discover all our replays: https://www.publicsenat.fr/replay 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/NewslettersPublicSenat 🚀 Follow us on social media: Facebook:   / publicsenat   X:   / publicsenat   Instagram:   / publicsenat   LinkedIn:   / 2996809
