Douro: Bispo de Vila Real lembrou «difícil situação das pessoas da região», e migrantes que trabalham nas vinhas

Bishop António Augusto Azevedo of Vila Real spoke about the hardships facing people in the Douro region and migrants working in the vineyards during a Mass in Régua on September 27. Speaking at the Douro Museum, the bishop noted that many people involved in the wine industry struggle with long-term difficulties that lead to discouragement. He urged those directly involved in the sector to work together to find better solutions.

Azevedo expressed admiration for those who have dedicated their lives to the region, describing their labor as hard but dignified. He noted that many men and women care for the vineyards with great effort and sometimes without significant financial gain.
