Delivering a new world takes time and requires allowing every statement to be expressed at its own pace. Here, there, and everywhere, there was a constant succession of workshops, all different: the military, with their discussion organized around an agenda; company leaders or NGOs in heated debate; local authorities, wondering if granting power to the minorities would not be a negation of democracy ...
