The Association of Mayors of Pyrénées-Atlantiques (ADM64) is calling for a gathering this Monday, October 19, starting at 12 PM in front of departmental town halls, to defend republican values against violence and vandalism.

Meeting in general assembly on October 16, the ADM64 highlighted the "mandate shock" felt by local elected officials, facing growing difficulties, tensions, and increased demands. Violence and vandalism are a major additional concern, with the association emphasizing that violence can never be an acceptable form of expression.
In a statement, the ADM64 stresses that respect for people, institutions, and public property is an indispensable foundation of democratic life. Therefore, it invites all mayors of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, along with any willing vital forces, to join this movement of unity and solidarity.

"Violence can never be an acceptable form of expression, and respect for individuals, institutions, and public property constitutes an indispensable foundation of our democratic life."
