In September, the initiative for the inclusion of people with disabilities was submitted in Bern.
-
The population will vote in 3 or 4 years, but the associations are already preparing to lead a decisive campaign for their rights.
-
These associations received the support of two personalities: the philosopher Alexandre Jollien and the actor Bernard Campan.
There was something a little unreal about seeing French comedian Bernard Campan, member of the famous trio of comedians Les Inconnus, strolling through the aisles of the venerable National Council room. The man took his time, had the large fresco representing the Grütli meadow, the cradle of Helvetia, explained to him. This Friday afternoon, the actor was specially present at the Federal Palace, accompanying the Valais philosopher Alexandre Jollien, to support various French-speaking associations active in the disability sector. They gathered in Bern for a conference set up in the wake of the “Initiative for Inclusion”. On September 4, its submission with 107,000 signatures brought together 1000 people on Place Fédérale.
At the origin of the French star’s arrival, there was a planned stay in Lausanne with his friend Alexandre Jollien. “When he told me that my visit coincided with this meeting in Bern, I immediately said yes. If I can help, simply note Bernard Campan. This is all the more important in a period of harshness and uncertainty, which particularly affects the most vulnerable.” The man nevertheless minimizes the importance of his action. “I have mainly carried out my commitment through my films, such as The child who measured the world (he plays the grandfather of a child with autistic syndrome) or even Presque. Co-written with Alexandre Jollien, this tender comedy recounts the improbable road trip, in a hearse, between a funeral director and a disabled delivery man.
