"It becomes ever more necessary to establish effective ways of managing common goods, such as water and public services, through new participatory forms of access and management, with citizens actively involved. We’re working at a new European Constitution, closer to citizens’ rights, to be developed through the efforts of all mayors and institutional representations of territories and through the engagement of active citizenship."

Deshalb bin ich Botschafter der Europäischen BürgerInneninitiative!"

Adjointe au Maire de Paris et Présidente de "Eau de Paris": "Au-delà de la catastrophe sanitaire, le manque d’eau contraint toute possibilité de développement économique, social et démocratique.

L’eau, essentielle à l’ensemble des écosystèmes, est notre bien commun, et doit être gérée dans l’intérêt général, dans le cadre d’un vrai service public. C’est pourquoi j’appelle à la mobilisation des citoyens européens, pour que le droit à l’eau, devienne enfin une réalité pour tous !"
