Virginie Riva
Reporter, Politics
I was a journalist for 12 years at Europe 1, where I was a correspondent in Rome from 2014-2017, a political journalist from 2017-2019, and then part of the “société” section. I joined Contexte in January 2022, where I was responsible for the French Presidency and the majority government. With a PhD in Political Science, I have also written three books on an equally political subject: religion.
