  • Nov 2016 - May 2017

  An amazing relationship experience. Difficult, however, to live out one's deepest truth. Very difficult to bring to the table themes such as the extreme fragility of our just-in-time supply patterns, the need for reducing energy consumption... I wanted to deal with them with the hope - the faith - that we can develop collective resilience by neighbourhood autonomy in the event of various crises (food, energy, health, housing, etc.). But omerta was the order because this vision belonged to me and did not reflect the aim of the parties that supported my candidacy. Nevertheless, I have excellent memories of all these meetings and especially the working sessions within the small committee where we invented the word "cohatiforce" as a campaign slogan : a combination of the words cohesion, creativity and strength...

• Campaign for the National Council (Legislative role)

  • Jul 2015 - Oct 2015

  During this campaign, I was on the list with two great personalities, full of qualities, who were in high competition with each other. For me, who didn't want to take a stand for either of them, it was difficult to hold a stand at the market with either of them without arousing suspicion... But I like and need to meet people 🥰 So I chose to go in an unconventional way to meet young people and people with accomplished life experience, couples and single people, with questions and above all with attentive listening... thank you to them who agreed to testify, thank you for having publicly offered a facet of themselves.
