    [[{"fid":"47506","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_author[und][0][value]":""},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"default","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_author[und][0][value]":""}},"attributes":{"style":"float: right; width: 150px; height: 149px;","class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"1"}}]]The idea was to bring out representatives in each district, having for the inhabitants the legitimacy to act.

    « Finally, those who know their neighborhoods best are the people who live there. »

    Jean DIONIS DU SEJOUR
    Mayor of Agen
