CEVIPOF and CESE to Unveil 2026 Political Trust Barometer Findings in February Plenary

The Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) is set to collaborate with the Center for Political Research at Sciences Po (CEVIPOF) to present the latest results from the 16th wave of their Political Trust Barometer. This event, scheduled for February 10, 2026, will take place during a plenary session featuring in-depth analyses and discussions on the state of political trust in France.

Researchers Bruno Cautrès, a CNRS researcher at CEVIPOF, and Luc Rouban, a CNRS research director, will lead the analysis of the barometer's findings. CESE President Thierry Beaudet will deliver the opening speech, while Anne Muxel, deputy director of CEVIPOF, will offer a presentation to frame the discussions. The session will also include debates with CESE members and representatives from various organizations.

Following the barometer analysis, the plenary will present a CESE resolution titled "Urban Popular Neighborhoods: Let’s Talk Solutions," reflecting CESE’s ongoing interest in democratic engagement and electoral participation, particularly among youth.

This event highlights the continued efforts to assess and foster political trust and democratic involvement in France, providing valuable insights as the country navigates political challenges in 2026.
