A Bordeaux, la fraternité interconvictionnelle au rendez-vous d’une deuxième Marche pour la Paix
The Bordeaux collective at the initiative of a march for peace in 2021 put it back.

It will set off from Place Stalingrad in Bordeaux and make three other symbolic stops before reaching Place de la République, the address of the city’s former courthouse and a pretext to evoke ” Justice “ in the presence of representatives of the town hall. Previously, the organizers planned to discuss ” the peace “just before departure; “solidarity and sharing” on the quays of the Garonne; “get out of jail”in front of the Lycée Michel de Montaigne and ” Justice “ at the very end, before giving the signal to disperse.

The elders are still very present but the committee has now incorporated into its ranks people from all walks of life. With a majority of people from solidarity movements. »

A poem by Jean de La Fontaine, texts by Victor Hugo, Michel de Montaigne or even Montesquieu. The walk will end with the reading of a short poem by William Butler Yeats, the Irish poet and playwright.
