The Brussels deputy Kalvin Soiresse has been appointed by the Ecolo federation council to become the new president of the assembly of Cocof (French Community Commission). He therefore replaces Magali Plovie who is leaving her mandate to take office at the Constitutional Court next September.
Deputy in charge of education in the Parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation as well as issues of equal opportunities and decolonization in the Brussels Parliament, Kalvin Soiresse is also a municipal councilor in Ganshoren and former coordinator of the Collective Memory Colonial and Fight against Discrimination. He was also a teacher and a sports journalist in his professional life. “I salute the action taken so far as President of Cocof”, explains the ecologist born in Togo and arrived in Belgium in 2004. “I will pay particular attention to young people. I am convinced that we must act to restore the link and trust between citizens and the political world. We must open up our institutions even more, especially to young people, because an open parliament is oxygen for a living democracy. It is with these values of participation and openness to associations and actors in the field, dear to Magali Plovie, that I will continue my work at the head of Cocof. By leaving for the Constitutional Court, Magali Plovie also leaves room for the Brussels parliament. It is Marie Borsu, currently municipal councilor in Ixelles, who will replace her.
