Mayor of Nantes (France)

Member of the Socialist Party, Netherlands

President of CITUB Trade Union (Bulgaria): "The right to water? -This is the human right to life!"

President ACV-CSC Services publics (Belgium): "I sign for the Human Right to Water"

General Secretary European Environmental Bureau (EEB): "Water is indispensable to life. It runs through our cities, our bodies, our valleys, sustaining us and our environment. Water is therefore not a commodity like any other; it is a fundamental human right. The EEB is pleased to support this campaign to ensure that water is seen as a public good and that protecting our water environment prevails over commercial interests."

Mayor of Naples (Italy): "Diviene progressivamente centrale un'efficace gestione dei beni comuni, intesi quali acqua e servizi pubblici, attraverso forme di accesso e di gestione condivise, con la partecipazione dei cittadini. Stiamo lavorando a un testo costituzionale europeo più attento ai diritti della cittadinanza, i cui contenuti si svilupperanno attraverso il lavoro dei sindaci, delle rappresentanze istituzionali dei territori, ed il coinvolgimento della cittadinanza attiva." "It becomes ever more necessary to establish effective ways of managing common goods, such as water and public services, through new participatory forms of access and management, with citizens actively involved. We’re working at a new European Constitution, closer to citizens’ rights, to be developed through the efforts of all mayors and institutional representations of territories and through the engagement of active citizenship."

President Social Platform (Germany): "Social Platform is pleased to support the campaign “Water is a human right” as access to affordable public services is a key concern of our members. Moreover, water is not an ordinary commodity: it is a basic requirement, a fundamental human right. Social Platform therefore asks EU decision makers to protect access to water from commercial interests and to promote a rights-based approach."

General Secretary PASYDY Trade Union (Cyprus): "I sign for the Human Right to Water"

Deputy General Secretary IMPACT Trade Union (Ireland): "I sign for the right to water"

Adjointe au Maire de Paris et Présidente de "Eau de Paris": "Au-delà de la catastrophe sanitaire, le manque d’eau contraint toute possibilité de développement économique, social et démocratique. L’inégalité dans l’accès à l’eau constitue l’une des plus grandes injustices, frappant les plus pauvres et les plus démunis socialement, et tout particulièrement les femmes. L’eau, essentielle à l’ensemble des écosystèmes, est notre bien commun, et doit être gérée dans l’intérêt général, dans le cadre d’un vrai service public. C’est pourquoi j’appelle à la mobilisation des citoyens européens, pour que le droit à l’eau, devienne enfin une réalité pour tous !"

President "La Gauche par l'exemple" : "Comme l'air, comme le rayon du soleil, l'eau est un élément naturel indispensable à la survie. Nous sommes dans le domaine du vivant. Trois jours sans boire et nous sommes morts. Ce n'est même pas que "l'eau n'est pas une marchandise comme les autres", l'eau n'est pas une marchandise! Elle ne doit donc pas être traitée tel quel. C'est au service public d'en gérer sa potabilisation, son approvisionnement et son assainissement. C'est la garantie que l'intérêt général et le droit d'y accéder priment sur toute autre considération."

President GdG-KMSfB, Austria

Coordinator Water Justice Network and Professor at Wageningen University, Netherlands: "Secure access to safe and sufficient water is fundamental for human beings and their social, natural and cultural living environments, but is increasingly threatened by powerful interests and agents who see it foremost as a commodity apt for profit-making business. Amidst water policies and practices that tend to be coloured by fundamentally unequal relations of power, the human right to water for all, and a fair and sustainable distribution of available water, are among the main issues and struggles of our time”
