Drawing. Alsace. Nature reserve in Sélestat. - G. Varela / 20 Minutes

It is official and it should delight many Alsatians. It will soon be possible to display on its license plate the territorial identifier of the future European Community of Alsace (CEA) - approved in August 2019. And this legally. Information which could seem very futile in these times of health crisis but which nevertheless underlines a strong symbolism and long battles waged since 2015 by the Alsatian elected officials for the merger of the departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin. A merger that will take shape in practice from January 1, next year.

It was the president of the Haut-Rhin departmental council, Brigitte Klinkert, who drew first and announced the good news on her Tweeter account this Sunday evening. A tweet not without humor and a hint of spite. The elected indeed indicates that it will still be necessary to wait 229 days to finish with "the stickers and the resourcefulness" to display Alsace proudly "on the license plates.

"A strong symbol! "

An announcement on social networks followed closely by that of the president of the Bas-Rhin, Frédéric Bierry, who stressed that it was "a black and white written change in the Official Journal, in a decree". A decree that he took care to attach to his tweet ... It finally happened, could we almost translate ...

Brigitte Klinkert also stressed that ECA joined the 13 regions in the list of communities whose identifier is officially authorized. "A strong symbol! "Concludes the president of Haut-Rhin.
