With the presence of mayor Francisco Azcué, this Wednesday afternoon the community of the northwest area of Concordia gathered with great emotion and pride to carry out the Patriotic Parade, an event that marks a very special milestone by commemorating more than ten years of celebrating our identity and traditions. Under the motto “We remember the courage of those who began to forge a free Nation”, it was held with an outstanding participation of more than 30 schools and intermediate institutions.
The Patriotic Parade of the Northwest Zone was born in 2010, during the bicentennial of the Nation, thanks to the initiative of two principals committed to education and national identity: Graciela Quintana, from the Public School of private management N° 69 "San Francisco", and Patricia Peralta, from Public School N° 71 "Independencia". Over the years, other directors joined in, consolidating an event that today is a symbol of unity and celebration for the community.
This year, for the first time, the Municipality of Concordia, under the decision of the Mayor Francisco Azcué, collaborated significantly in the organization of the event. The Mayor assigned the Municipal Undersecretariat of Education the coordination with the different municipal areas, ensuring active participation in the organization of the act. The collaboration of the municipality was fundamental for the success of this parade, facilitating resources and logistics that allowed for an unforgettable celebration for all those present.
EMBRACE
When taking the floor, the Mayor remarked that “we are here to embrace each other as Argentines, as brothers, in a very difficult moment in our history but with the full conviction that it is possible to have a better country and a city that provides opportunities, where there are no excluded people”.
“In this type of act we pay homage to and vindicate the glorious epics of those who gave their lives for our Nation. We must learn to love and defend this country, from the place that each one occupies, that is why I ask our residents to unite and work together for our city” highlighted Azcué.
For his part, the Undersecretary of Education Carlos Gatto, highlighted that “from our area, we work tirelessly to support initiatives that foster participation and a sense of belonging in our students. This parade is not only a tribute to our history, but also an opportunity for families and the community in general to unite in an event that celebrates our roots and traditions”.
A COMMUNITY EVENT
The parade arises from the need for full participation of student communities, seeking to include the entire student body of the different institutions in the northwest area of the city. The response from families has always been enthusiastic, demonstrating the deep bond and commitment to this annual celebration.
More than 30 schools and intermediate institutions participated in this edition, reflecting the diversity and collaborative spirit that characterizes the northwest area of Concordia.
