INTERVIEW - The Minister of Territorial Cohesion will participate on Thursday in an inter-ministerial committee on ruralities in the Vosges.


Since the launch of the rural agenda, you have announced the implementation of 181 measures intended to revitalize the countryside. How much time do you give yourself to implement them?

Jacqueline Gourault. - Rurality has too often been approached in negative terms. However, our conviction is that our campaigns are territories of the future! For forty years, in this country, we have had a city policy, conducted in continuity, regardless of the ministers. What we are in the process of initiating is a rural policy which will be complementary to that of the city. It has been a long time since we have had a specific policy in this area. Our Rural Agenda project is therefore transversal: it concerns health, trade, agriculture, mobile telephony, housing, etc. Our priority is living spaces, public services in the broad sense and digital coverage of the territory. Everything related to everyday life.
