“It is important to review our history and listen to those people who have studied and written, since they have left us a legacy that we must keep in mind,” affirmed the mayor of Concordia.
“I want to and I will work so that Concordia is recognized in the rest of the province, in Argentina and in the world as a society that takes advantage of that enormous potential it has,” maintained the governor of Entre Ríos.
On this Friday morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué and the governor of the province of Entre Ríos, Rogelio Frigerio, led the commemorative ceremony for the 193rd anniversary of Concordia at Plaza 25 de Mayo.
Addressing those present, Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted that “today is a very important day for us. We commemorate the history and action of many men and women who have given a good part of their lives, their effort, and their dedication for our beloved Concordia,” he began.
In that sense, Azcué maintained: “We have enormous productive potential, we knew how to be a thriving, orderly, modern city, we knew how to be a beacon in the region for many years. That is why it is important to review our history and listen to those people who have studied and written, since they have left us a legacy that we must keep in mind.”
“That is why it is important in these days to review our history,” adding that “we must keep in mind where we come from; what things made us reach the top and also what were those things that made us fall back,” affirmed Azcué.
In that sense, the mayor of Concordia stressed that “we are absolutely sure that we can move our city forward and return to being that Concordia we knew how to be not so many years ago, and for that, everyone has to do their part. We have decided to change, to leave behind the past, the things that have harmed us, ending privileges. That is the first step, to show society that we can use politics as a tool for transformation.”
RESILIENCE CAPACITY
Governor Rogelio Frigerio, meanwhile, exclaimed: “Happy birthday Concordia. The truth is that when I usually refer to our province and the people of Entre Ríos as a society with an enormous capacity for resilience, I am sure that deep down it has not lost those values linked to the culture of work, effort, and education.”
“Birthdays serve to analyze the past and think about those pioneers from almost two centuries ago, how they would see us today, what they would think of us, and surely on one hand they would be sad because it is clearly not good that we are identified by things that have nothing to do with our values or with what we can be.”
“I want to and I will work so that Concordia is recognized in the rest of the province, in the rest of Argentina and in the world as a society that takes advantage of that enormous potential it has, regarding the forestry industry, citrus farming, tourism and the knowledge industry; that is why we must bet on education and I know that I count on my teachers to carry out that tremendous challenge of putting Entre Ríos back in the place it deserves,” highlighted Frigerio.
Professor Rosa Reisenweber, co-author of the city's history books, together with Professor Heriberto Pezzarini, carried out a detailed review of the origins of Concordia.
The ceremony was attended by Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the president of the Argentine Delegation to the Mixed Commission of Salto Grande, Ambassador Alejandro Daneri; provincial deputies Carola Laner and Marcelo López; the mayor of Los Charrúas, Andrea Imoberdorff; representatives of the Armed Forces and Security Forces; Malvinas Veterans; intermediate civil associations; municipal officials; councilors; secondary schools; and the general public.
