Euromontana France 2012

Political ideologies

• 2010
• Social democracy - 33 %
• Liberalism - 23 %
• Conservatism - 12 %
• Today: social democracy and conservatism is equal

We have to be open to integrate into our small communities but the immigrants also need to be willing to be integrated.

Summary

• Young people do not have trust in politicians
• Youth in mountain areas has more contact with politicians
• Immigrants in mountain areas are, generally, more concerned
• Integration has to be a mix of language and attitudes
• Immigrants is a great resource!

Thank you for your attention!
