A Le Figaro employee, she is at the same time chief editor of the integral ecology magazine Limite, of Catholic inspiration. In 2016, she published a critical essay on feminism, Adieu mademoiselle. A conservative, she is part of a generation of young Catholic intellectuals sometimes regarded as néo-réactionnaires by part of the media.[1] The Nation in 2018 described her as "a rising star."[2]

Childhood and education

Daughter of a landscaper and a specialist in nuclear medicine, Eugénie Bastié has four brothers and sisters; she grew up in Pibrac, in the Haute-Garonne[3] in a solidly Catholic family.[4]

Career

She partook in 2013 in the La Manif pour tous.[5] From 2013 to 2015 she collaborated with Causeur,[6] an internet site and biweekly magazine directed by Élisabeth Lévy. Following a stint at Figarovox, the opinion and debate site of Le Figaro (considered by Nolwenn Le Blevennec, from L'Obs, as the "hard right platform of Le Figaro"[7]), she was hired by Le Figaro in 2015,[8] recommended by Alexis Brézet.[7]

In 2015, Bastié co-founded the French ecologist "Limite" magazine.[9]

Bastié has compared Marine Le Pen "a little bit" to Hillary Clinton.[10]

The Huffington Post has reported that Bastié's comments on #metoo have "created a controversy."[11]
