5th Francophone HIV/Aids conference – Casablanca, 28th-31st March 2010
The president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy has turned his back on HIV/Aids patients, activists turn their back on him at the conference.
Activists from Act Up-Paris, AIDES and Sidaction called on those working in the fight against Aids to turn their backs on Patrice Debré, Aids ambassador for France, during his closing speech at the conference.
We are still far from universal access to treatment which was promised for 2010, despite the repeated pledges made by the French president since he was elected in 2007.
Today we know how to stop this epidemic, it’s only a question of political choice.
Therefore we ask Nicolas Sarkozy not to renege on his commitments: France must support a Global fund of 20 billion and increase its contributions accordingly.
