Une ville pour l'homme
Bernard Devert - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
To believe in man is to believe that all men have a future. But what future can there be for a man who doesn't even have a roof over his head? What future is there when one's dwelling offers a destructive image of the self, or a stigma of poverty and misery? To believe in man is to refuse fatality, to mobilise the best in oneself to provoke an 'other way'. Utopia... then what? Have the solutions advocated been so successful that Abbé Pierre's cry for help, fifty years ago, has lost its unique and dramatic urgency? His foundation tells us that the number of homeless, or those living in unacceptable conditions, has not decreased. 3 385 500 people are waiting for a home or a decent place to live. Our society is desperately in search of meaning. Couldn't the urgency to find an 'other way' provide it? It is the meaning behind the solidarity that fights against a situation that is harmful to human beings, sometimes to the point of thrusting them into despair. The association Habitat et Humanisme was born in 1985 from the refusal to resign ourselves. It has given a home to more than 15000 people, with the constant concern that the home should not also be a social stigma... a stigma which is to society what a cancerous tumour is to the body. "My friends, help!" said Abbé Pierre. We need to bring our help to people in grave danger. Or shall we continue not to see?
