With the presence of mayor Francisco Azcué, during this Friday morning and in the Deliberative Council chamber, the departmental stage of the Entre Ríos Youth Senate was held, which depends on the Vice-Governorship of Entre Ríos and is aimed at all secondary school students, who must choose a topic of interest to draft a preliminary bill, resolution, communication, or declaration.
Among other topics, the initiatives may address issues related to Health, Education and Culture, Environment, Security, Economic Development, Tourism, Human Rights, and/or Sports.
On this occasion, in addition to the participating students and teachers, the vice-mayor and president of the Deliberative Council Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, provincial senator Espejo, and provincial deputies Marcelo López and Liliana Salinas were present, as well as councilors from our city.
POLITICS AS A TOOL FOR TRANSFORMATION
When welcoming the young participants, the mayor urged them to take advantage of this space because beyond the choice of a particular project, “everyone will contribute ideas,” remarking that “politics is a very powerful tool,” although he acknowledged that while there are reasons not to trust it due to the misuse it has been given, “politics, when used well, is a tool for profound transformation.”
In that sense, Azcué exhorted the young people to get involved, to be protagonists because “the destiny of our country, our province, and this city will be marked by the contribution we make as citizens. It is not a good idea to disengage from what happens in our community, it is not intelligent to do so, and it does not suit us because the best thing we can do is to get involved and participate.”
For that reason, he asked them “to rebel against those things that harm us, against corruption, against drug trafficking, and against bad administrations.”
IDEAS THAT CHANGE REALITY
Drawing a parallel, Reta de Urquiza reported that in the recent youth session of the Deliberative Council “10 projects were presented, with very nice ideas, whose authors went through a growth process, so I hope you have one too.”
Senator Espejo, when speaking, conveyed the greetings of Vice-Governor Alicia Aluani to the participants and wished them “good luck, and I make myself available for whatever you may need.”
López highlighted that this stage “is the tool that we intend to bring closer to young people, so they realize that good ideas can be received in a provincial law and in that way they can change reality.”
Salinas, in her turn, ccelebrated that there are many young people getting involved and made herself available “for any project that you want to bring to us.”
