Having just come out of an election (European and early legislative), France will not have much time to get back into the swing of the polls. The municipal elections will be in March 2026, i.e. in 16 months… And already, almost everywhere, lists are formed. In particular those formed by simple citizens in the Tarn.

From August 2024, on the occasion of the sixth national meetings of lists and participatory municipalities in Vaour, organized by the Common Actions networkall the members of the communes and participatory lists present had decided together on collective action to launch the movement in a concrete way.

These communities are “ours”

The action took place a few days ago, in November 2024. In more than 100 municipalities, collectives, lists or elected officials took action in photo in front of the entrance sign of their town by adding a sign “is yours” below it, “marking the desire to share and take ownership of local political issues”.

An action which found a very strong echo in the Tarn, particularly in Albi, Vaour, Penne and Lisle-sur-Tarn.

All over the region

But also, not far from there, at in Castanet-Tolosa (Haute-Garonne), Pamiers (Ariège) or even at Rodez (Aveyron).

“There are currently more than 1,200 people in the Network working in almost 500 municipalities in France, including 140 collectives already preparing for the municipal elections. The objective of the Common Actions Network is that 3,500 participatory and citizen lists present themselves in 2026, i.e. in 10% of French municipalities,” specifies Actions Communes.

Meetings every month in Lisle-sur-Tarn

Collectives which are already very active, like that of Lisle-sur-Tarn, Lisle Citizen. In the thirteenth town of the department (4,700 inhabitants), it offers every first Thursday of the month, citizen meetings on Place Sayssac or even a local meeting on the theme of local shops on January 27, 2025.
