[FR] Chers amis,
Il me semble chaque année plus difficile de vous adresser nos voeux sans penser à ce monde. La planète et ses habitants subissent crise après crise, sanitaire, économique, sociale, climatique. Les extrémistes de tous bords semblent résolus à déstabiliser nos démocraties. Alors que pouvons-nous espérer de 2024? J’espère qu’elle vous apportera un peu de joie à vous et vos proches et que notre monde se porte mieux et s’apaise. —jfp
