In response to the events shaking the country, the Mayor of Lauris, Eric Fontanarava, wishes to address the citizens. He emphasizes that the town hall is the 'common home,' the first link in the Republic where democracy comes alive and where the general interest must always prevail.
Attacking a town hall means attacking what brings us together: liberty, equality, fraternity. These values allow us to debate rather than confront, to build rather than destroy, and to create society instead of dividing ourselves.
“"This is why, today, so many mayors are calling their fellow citizens to gather in front of their common home."
A gathering is scheduled for Monday, October 19th at noon in front of the Town Hall. The mayor highlights the importance of these democratic and republican values, as well as the will to live together, which should never become secondary in the face of world upheavals.
