President Emmanuel Macron officialized the institutionalization of #citizensassemblies in France by announcing a 3rd one for the fall on a TBD topic (guesses are #immigration or #democraticrenewal) & a bill on #endoflife by the end of summer. #deliberativedemocracy

“Je m’intéresse depuis longtemps aux panels citoyens et mon expérience de la pandémie a achevé de me convaincre qu’il y a là un instrument déterminant pour permettre à nos démocraties de traverser les crises.” Marius Gilbert - @mariusgilbert.bsky.social 🧵

A breakthrough for #sortition as Le Monde salutes the "serious work" of France's latest randomly selected citizens' assembly on the end of life and calls for more subjects to be tackled with such "collective intelligence" and "enlightened debate". lemonde.fr/idees/article/…

Terwijl Frankrijk brandt over de pensioenen, was er een buitengewoon sereen burgerberaad mogelijk over euthanasie. De aanbevelingen liggen nu op tafel en oogsten veel waardering.

Hoofdredactioneel commentaar van Le Monde: "De ernst van de werkzaamheden van de burgerconventie over het levenseinde lijkt aan te tonen dat het mogelijk is de wedloop naar pittige polemieken en polariserende argumenten te vermijden." lemonde.fr/idees/article/…

While a French Citizens' Assembly just proposed new legislation on euthanasia, an Irish Citizens' Assembly asks for a constitutional referendum on biodiversity. These are big steps forward!

'Revolusi' is about to be published in Italian and La Repubblica generously gave me three pages of its magazine to talk about the colonialism of the past and the future. Thank you so much. ''All roads lead to Jakarta".

🙌Bruxelles, capitale du renouveau démocratique ce weekend ! ✨4 #assembléescitoyennes se déroulent en simultanée ce weekend au niveau du 1°parlbruparl , 2°#Brugov, 3°#fédéral 🇧🇪et 4°European Commission🇪🇺. Un petit aperçu 🧶

We Need To Talk, het burgerpanel over partijfinanciering, zit halverwege. Zullen burgers op 6 dagen tijd slagen waar de partijen al 15 jaar hun tanden op stuk bijten?

Si l’histoire est bien «la résurrection de la vie intégrale» selon Jules #Michelet, c’est ce très grand miracle qu’a réussi (à nouveau) David Van Reybrouck, remémorant l’épaisseur humaine, la complexité géopolitique & les conséquences mondiales de la révolution indonésienne🇮🇩 Merveille!

Yesterday I had my first interview on NPR, America's number one public radio, on the publication of Revolusi. It was such a joy to talk about Indonesian history. After all, Barack Obama grew up in Jakarta and the work 'ketchup' comes from the Malay 'kecap'!

This Saturday in Flagey, I'll be on stage with Paul Verhaeghe, Béatrice Delvaux... to discuss the state of democracy. Welcome!
