President "La Gauche par l'exemple" : "Comme l'air, comme le rayon du soleil, l'eau est un élément naturel indispensable à la survie. Nous sommes dans le domaine du vivant. Trois jours sans boire et nous sommes morts. Ce n'est même pas que "l'eau n'est pas une marchandise comme les autres", l'eau n'est pas une marchandise! Elle ne doit donc pas être traitée tel quel. C'est au service public d'en gérer sa potabilisation, son approvisionnement et son assainissement. C'est la garantie que l'intérêt général et le droit d'y accéder priment sur toute autre considération."

Na mestne ulice smo celo postavili javne pitnike ter tako našim meščanom in obiskovalcem v toplejših mesecih omogočili brezplačno odžejanje. Ker se zavedamo, da je kakovostna voda javno dobro in človekova pravica, ne sme preiti v upravljanje zasebnikom. Zato bomo v Ljubljani zagotovili, da voda ostane dostopna vsem.« "Ljubljana is a city that boasts of having clean drinking water, and this is something we can be proud of. We have even set up drinking fountains on the city streets and thereby enabled our residents and visitors to have a drink free of charge in the warmer months. As we are aware that good-quality drinking water is a public good and a human right we cannot allow it to be privatised. Therefore we in Ljubljana will ensure that water remains accessible to all".
