Summary

Without Roland Béguelin, Secretary General of the Rassemblement Jurassien, and Marcel Boillat, founder of the Font de Libération du Jura – two solitary men who combined their forces and their determination and succeeded in making the canton of Berne and the Confederation, which for a long time had a very negative view of the separatist awakening, bend over backwards – the canton of Jura would not exist.
