This is great news: the margins of major policy statements and political maneuvering, a courageous man just decide to take a big step: Mr. Gregor Chapel, alderman of Labour in the Brussels commune of Forest (50,000 inhabitants), announced this morning on its website he will now be known as the Alderman of Labor and Economic Transition (Employment, Economic Transition, Commerce, Economics and Social Revitalization of neighborhoods). Mr. Chapel does not seem to want to stay in the ads as a cosmetic, this morning also, published in La Libre Belgium a position very clear for public support measures for the relocation economic and social economy truly visionary, falling clearly in the perspective of Cities and Communities in Transition .
course, like all elected, he will have to show that this initiative - courageous, repeat, and extremely encouraging for all citizens movements - really rooted in an alternative project and it will indeed be included in the triangle "social economy, lifelong learning, civic movements", rather than being just another resume in hand or confiscation policy spaces overrun citizen. But do not spoil our fun and welcome the local elected his "joyous entry" into a new trend of politicians genuinely transitioned , which is to date the first member and it opens with force!
Ah yes, in fact, Gregor PS Chapel is an elected, not elected Ecolo ... But this is probably not the most important. For those of us who aspire to a "utopia of the present", a Nowtopia paraphrase Chris Carlsson, the most important thing is that progressive politicians, of whatever kind (as they are not manipulated by a party apparatus or by economic interests), are launching strong signals and put into action as much as the current permits.
