Frédéric Bierry, président de la collectivité européenne d'Alsace, France: "Je pense que c’est dans la responsabilisation de nos citoyens qu’on pourra relever les défis contre les populistes. Et pour cela faudra être très clairs avec nos citoyens sur la réalité de nos terrains". #CoE_WFD

Georgios Katrougalos, independent expert on a democratic and equitable international order of the United Nations, #Greece: "Populism is not the cause of the crisis of our democracies, it is just a symptom. It is the reaction of the population to the actual flaws of our democracies. Minorities now in our society believe that the economy is rigged in favor of the rich and the powerful. The populists exploit the feeling, but they do not create the structure of the problems, the true cause is the distribution of the wealth. If we want to combat populism, we must combat the true cause of this phenomenon". Follow live: https://lnkd.in/dxT9ijHe #CoE_WFD
