Local stakeholder ’s viewpoint on Vlassov’s contribution

When the COVID pandemic broke out, I held the position of Deputy Mayor for Health in Rennes, France, and was also the President of the French WHO Healthy Cities Network, as well as the Chair of the European Political Vision group within this network. Additionally, I consulted for the WHO on Health in All Policies strategies. Actively involved in a political movement advocating for improved democracy in France, I championed our Mental Health motto ‘Nothing for us, without us’ in local and national policies, campaigning for greater ethics and transparency. I felt it was crucial, as 64% of French men and women were skeptical about the functioning of democracy, and 82% believed that political leaders disregarded their opinion.1
