CONT

Le Printemps érable, faut-il le rappeler, n’a pas été que manifestations musclées ou spectaculaires. Ce qui a fait sa force, ce qui le distingue comme tournant social, c’est la qualité de sa prise de parole et la remise au premier plan d’une véritable réflexion sur les choix collectifs.

OBS

Le terme «Printemps érable» se dit ainsi par analogie avec le «Printemps arabe».
