We are an open meeting space
We have every reason to be proud of ORU Fogar’s meeting in Montevideo, Uruguay, hosted by the Congreso de Intendentes. On the occasion of our Executive Bureau, we organised a seminar on regional and cross-border policies that gathered intendants of Uruguay and governors of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. It was a perfect example of what must be central to our organisation: the exchange of experiences among intermediate governments from all over the world.
ORU, governments with a human dimension
Montevideo had the great honour of receiving the representatives of the regions of the world in their challenge of attaining the “freedom to share” among those constraint by different borders. States are integrated. The time has come to integrate the people. The time has come for a more human world, for a civilisation in harmony with nature. The time has come to put people ahead of interests.
