"Val-de-Marne is proud of managing water in the county, but mainly of being active in this field, of witnessing our experience, of giving the floor to many, of hosting activists, of being involved in solidarity actions, of believing in dreams... That is the base of our policy. I'm convinced that such an ambitiousness is now essential. This very resource is flowing at our feet, full of risks but also of promesses. It makes us face our reponsibilities, and I'm sure of that : the experience we got, and the ways we work it out allow us to meet this challenge." Christian Favier, president of the Conseil général of Val-de-Marne Let us meet at next festival www-YES / Belo Horizonte 26/10/2009 - festival de l'Oh!
