Danielle Mitterrand, the widow of former French president [Francois] Mitterrand, attends a news conference in Paris October 25, 2005.

In an earlier interview with Reuters, Mitterrand said 34,000 people die each day from a lack of fresh water and access to it should be enshrined in constitutions as an inalienable human right.]
