The made in France, or the “made at home” to make a bit of the language of Molière, is in fashion. To revive the economy, relocate it, make our professionals work… The political class itself is almost unanimously unanimous today on the subject.
On the eve of the end of the year celebrations, the PS president of the Occitanie Region, Carole Delga, for example, has put the cover back on the need to consume locally, in Occitania, and derive her gift ideas with the creations of our region.
As consumers, we must show economic patriotism by planning to purchase # Made in Occitania, a signature that we are launching in the continuity of our regional strategy of promoting regional businesses & know-how for years. pic.twitter.com/VbcBMim7SV
