At the same time as a weak and unimaginative summit was being held in New York, attended by financiers and decision-makers, the so-called winners, in short, all kinds of wealthy people, three lively forums were being held, for the second time, in Porto Alegre which was the true alternative to Davos. The three forums were attended by people from towns, from civil society and by parliamentarians, who cast a critical eye over the whole world. And this is how – and I sympathise with my colleague from the Liberal party, as the Greens are very happy to do this – the inventiveness of future governance is being created.
Au moment où se tenait à New York un sommet poussif, sans imagination, des financiers et des décideurs, des supposés gagneurs, bref des riches de tout poil, se tenait pour la seconde fois Porto Alegre, véritable alternative à Davos, trois forums pleins de vitalité : celui des villes, celui de la société civile et celui de parlementaires critiques du monde entier et c'est là - et je suis désolée pour mon collègue libéral, les Verts s'y sentent comme un poisson dans l'eau - que se créée l'inventivité de la gouvernance de demain.
