Often neglected by governments and having seen their young people move in large numbers to major centres, the inhabitants of rural regions are increasingly taking charge of their destiny and regaining their dignity through their courage.</p>\n<p>We should applaud these examples of solidarity which are reviving our rural regions.</p>",
