What an idea to be 20 today!Wherever you listen, you hear the mournful song of the resigned and the haunting complaint of impotence.Climate catastrophe? Inexorable!The extinction of biodiversity? Irremediable!Financial globalization, outsourcing, the explosion of inequalities? Inevitable!The decline of democracies, the erosion of rights and the rise of hatred? Inevitable!Everywhere you are told that this is how it is and that you can't do anything about it. This is false! Nothing is written, ever, and you can turn things around.I have seen you at work, from Lille to Marseille, via Reims, Corbeil-Essonnes, Villeurbanne and Clermont-Ferrand. I saw in you the spontaneity and the sap that our leaders lack so much.Your emergence on the political scene will change the situation. You will prove the fatalists and the cynics wrong.Never underestimate your power.Practice it, you will see.
