The call of Sainte Odile

Before the march began, participants listened to a reading of a “call of Sainte Odile” by the mayor of Gundershoffen and Alsace advisor, Victor Vogt. This call emphasizes the need to free Alsace from the Grand Est, highlighting the advantages and opportunities of an autonomous region Alsace.
