This Friday night, with the presence of Mayor Francisco Azcué, the Local and Regional History Conference began within the framework of the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Historical Archive of Concordia. “We must know the history of our city that led it to be the thriving Concordia of opportunities, but also where we have failed, because it is not a good idea to ignore what happens to us,” remarked Azcué.
Since 2014, when its 20th anniversary was celebrated, the Historical Archive of Concordia has offered the Local and Regional History Conference every year. In it, different researchers from Concordia and the region present and share their historical research work with attendees.
This year, as the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Archive is celebrated, a series of meetings have been organized, with this Friday's being the first, featuring the presentation by Professor Heriberto Pezzarini, titled “Antecedents of the Municipality of Concordia”.
“The Historical Archive is something we must take care of and continue working on because those of us who participate, in one way or another, with different roles in the community, must know the history of our city that led it to be the thriving Concordia of opportunities, but also where we have failed, because it is not a good idea to ignore what happens to us,” affirmed Azcué.
Continuing along those lines, Azcué indicated that “the greatest challenge is cultural transformation, and part of it has to do with the sense of belonging and citizen participation, which one understands has been lost a little, but we have a huge opportunity to begin to transform that reality.”
Prior to the start of the presentation, Mayor Azcué, together with the Secretary of Government Luciano Dell´Olio, presented a plaque to Professor Pezzarini in recognition of the work carried out over all these years at the Historical Archive and his outstanding contribution to the history of our city.
“It is an honor to be able to count on him, with his experience and vocation for service that encourages us and gives us strength and prestige, doing things for the love of the city,” highlighted the Municipal President.
