When globalization fails, the regions!
Carles Llorens, secretary general of ORU Fogar
The Azores archipelago will always be remembered for that meeting that Manuel Durao Barroso facilitated to reach an agreement between Bush-Blair-Aznar regarding the Iraq War. There, also facilitated by the commissioner of the European Union, however a key meeting for global regionalism also took place. The United Regions Organization ORU Fogar was born in March 2007 in Marseille. However, it was conceived in Ponta Delgada, the capital of the archipelago, in June 2006 during the celebration of the seminar “Regions and globalization.”
