To be for the people, it must be by the people, Étienne Chouard at TEDxRepubliqueSqare

In 2005, before the European referendum, while teaching economics and law, Etienne Chouard took a close look at a draft version of the European Constitution. What he discovered changed him forever. It was his political awakening. Since then, and independently from any political organizations, he warns us against our apathy, denounces our responsibility and wants to restore the true meaning of democracy. His motto : a Constitution written by citizens and representatives selected by sortition.
