With increased means, it will give more broadth to the economic action, but also will develop joint projects in the social sector and the culture. Why pass in community communes? One often intends to say that France, with its 36.000 communes, has some as much as the whole of the other countries of the European Community. It is certainly an asset which it is necessary to preserve because it allows a democratic grid and of absolutely irreplaceable proximity. But it is also a handicap because the majority of our small communes and villages rural do not have the means individually of facing the requirements of our fellow-citizens who seek in these villages a framework and a quality of life but also all the services offered in the cities.
