Mayor Francisco Azcué presided this morning over the commemorative ceremony for the 215th anniversary of the May Revolution. In his speech, he remarked that “patriotic dates not only serve to remember history, but to seek inspiration. Often, it is necessary to sow in adversity because we know that the worst thing is inertia or standing idly by.”
When recalling such a transcendental historical moment, the Mayor maintained that “patriotic dates not only serve to remember history, but to seek inspiration. The constitution of a Patriotic Government, on a May 25th, among many other things, evokes the idea of decision-making amidst uncertainty. There are moments when it is more valuable to have a vision and uphold it than any other resource.”
“Often, it is necessary to sow in adversity because we know that the worst thing is inertia or standing idly by. We are convinced that even in hard times, with scarce resources, society wants and longs for good administration and a sense of responsibility that for a long time was absent in this city,” remarked Azcué.
In that sense, he affirmed that “we are doing it with responsibility and silent work; we do it because we believe in this and because we receive the trust that the people ask us to place in every moment. Our citizens ask us to put a brake on excessive spending and the privileges of a few and to put Concordia on the path of progress.”
“Concordia is building a new horizon and for that, we must lay the foundations, which are honesty, hard work, and compliance with the rules. No one is going to gift us development; we will build it because we love Concordia and because without development there is no chance of escaping the vicious cycle of poverty, and because the city, believe me, has it all.”
Following that line, the Mayor stressed that “that development to which we aspire is not an empty phrase; we are working on a productive and innovation project to generate genuine, long-term opportunities. Development is also training and investing in infrastructure. We work on the agenda of the residents of Concordia whom we represent; the agenda to sustain the privileges of a few is no longer acceptable.”
Finally, he stated that May 25, 1810, “marked the path toward freedom and the beginning of the construction of our country. On this date, I want to invite all residents of Concordia to renew their commitment to those values that unite us: effort, honesty, teamwork, and the will to move forward.”
At the end of the central ceremony, Mayor Azcué and other authorities present moved to the San Antonio de Padua Cathedral to attend the Solemn Te Deum.
Accompanying the Mayor were Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, members of the Cabinet, provincial legislators, council members, members of the Armed Forces and Security Forces, Malvinas veterans, educational institutions, representatives of organizations and institutions of the city, and the general public.
