				4. Building a Better Future How do you judge the influence of groups like the Lisbon Group in order to promote change? Well it's a building process role. So we are not direct participation to decision. But we are in the front of the identification of problem issues and suggesting problem solving institutions and solutions. It's a kind of cultural role. To have this cultural role means to agitate problems, to make raise conscience and awareness. And one important task in my mind is to tell people that another future is possible. How would the other future look? The other future compared to the future of today, well, it's of course a dream, a utopia. But the political process is of course to make the impossible possible. Could you describe this Utopia? To my mind this utopia would be, that every individual and collectivity have the ability to sustain itself - with energy and housing and health. A family as a group would be able to live. To my mind I still belong to those who believe that the eradication of poverty, the misery, the absence of the right to life. The eradication of this poverty to my mind is the impossible. So my future is the future, where nobody has the right to be poor. TOP
