Kanko in conversation with French philosopher and writer Pascal Bruckner

Deeply moved, Assita Kanko shares here the result of a beautiful intellectual complicity found during an intense conversation with the famous French writer and philosopher Pascal Bruckner; about freedom, racism, the cancel culture and the growing contempt for our Western values.

Kanko spoke with Bruckner on the occasion of the International Day against Racism and Discrimination. And what apt things he had to say about the danger of racialism and essentialism, the cancel culture and the growing contempt for our Western values. It was a more than fascinating conversation with this brilliant and engaging man. Listen to the podcast now and be touched and amazed as well!

Produced in cooperation with the Translation Office of the European Parliament, DG TRAD.


Over Assita, Rebellious & Free

Conversations & stories by Flemish Member of European Parliament Assita Kanko.

Assita: 'I, as an EU politician, as a real Flemish but born in Burkina Faso, as a wife, mother, daughter and friend, talk to inspiring guests: politicians, scientists, writers etc. To speak with them about freedom and self-determination.

I have become totally European but my African past has made me a fighter and a human rights activist. An advocate of freedom. Because I personally experienced that freedom is not for free or taken for granted, but it is something we should cherish and protect with our hearts and souls.

Through my podcast, from the studios of the European Parliament, I hope to give an impulse to make the world a better and more just place with engaging guests and personal stories. I am very proud to share these encounters with you and hope that you too will be touched.

So that we together can make a difference."
