Contribution of Eric Anthony Dohollou June 24, 2009, during the current debate, in a plenary session of the Economic, Social and Environmental, an opportunity was given to the Spokesman of National Conference on Youth and members of the Monitoring Committee the latter, to speak at the podium.
First, I am eager to declare: "I have full measure in 28 years, the confidence that we could allow me to intervene in the Chamber of third constitutional assembly and at the podium as President of its perch. "
Speaking to the Chamber Council's Economic, Social and Environmental of the French Republic, like the third constitutional assembly, may well expressed, impress. This place is impressive, certainly, but empty. In action, the sense of solemnity is required. As on 24 June with the presence of its President and its members. Paradoxically, in comparison to the significant size of the place, the atmosphere is quiet: carpet, warm colors where the old red dominates. The now famous phrase: `'The Republic is the heir to the monarchy and empire,''is here, too, all his senses.
Indeed, like Other highlights of France, the republican framework of pageantry is there, but here, with accuracy and without ostentation. Not to mention the patina of time on the furniture, sober witness the pace of work.
Over ten years of commitment, I saw a kind of boiling in various high places in our country, as would happen if a major event and this in a minute: perhaps because Republican operation is so complex and demanding, even simple everyday institutional workings that remain in turmoil.
A situation comparable to that of a family home, which is preparing to receive all of its members, in full. Everyone is busy, the activities are under construction, the doors are both open and closed. Yet everything is in place. Within this chamber, the presence and activity of its members, its President, its bailiffs, persons responsible for meeting me ... once again confirmed in my impression.
To return to this cozy atmosphere, as mentioned above, the feeling is the same one you may feel in the hallways of a family home, if you're hosting and support. An obligation to respect, just as if you enter the backstage at a theater. The Economic, Environmental and Social is a slide if the slide official / public our French Republic.
Role of guidance, work assignments upstream precursor steps to the citizens, we can only rejoice in the path taken by the EESC, with the National Conference on Youth, to give the "the", as regards representativeness Youth.
With ANJ, the third constitutional assembly did not want to create here an association of young attached to its task and its purpose is to emphasize the full integration of Youth in the heart of institutions.
It confirms once again during the plenary of 24 June, where no indication of a desire''ageism''at all costs, but simply the desire to see society evolve through ever more just representation of those who compose it. We see
grafted to certain municipalities, municipal youth councils and more than 18 years, while they are already entitled to claim a mandate within their Republican mayor (I do not mean the Municipal Councils of Children who play an educational role for the commitment citizen). Also, is it not unnecessary to multiply instances young people?
In addition, rural citizens in both local and national for young people, inform only the right to vote and not the right to stand for election ... a bit cavalier, right?
