With a message emphasizing the importance of the sector for Concordia, the region, and the province, the mayor Dr. Francisco Azcué, together with the vice-governor of Entre Ríos, in charge of the Provincial Executive, Dr. Alicia Aluani, inaugurated the 46th National Citriculture Festival. This Saturday, the new ambassadors will be chosen, and “Ke Personajes” will close the night.
When speaking to those present and referring to what citriculture means for the people of Concordia, Mayor Azcué stated that it is a productive activity “that represents our DNA, which is part of our culture,” therefore “this is a festival that we must take care of because it belongs to us as a community and must reflect the enormous potential we have.”
After thanking the Citriculturists Association for their support, the mayor highlighted that as a public policy, from his administration, “the private sector must be at the center of the scene because they are the ones who bet on our city and push the development of our city,” therefore, “as a State, we must be by their side, without putting obstacles in their way as happened for many years. Today we want to tell you that we are with you.”
For her part, Vice-governor Aluani stated that the National Citriculture Festival “honors those who work, the producers. The workers for their competence, their effort, their culture, and resilience that we need so much,” but also “it brings together generations that pass on their knowledge, where history is transmitted, but also the future of those who bet on the full development of the regional economy.”
“It is a source of pride to have a quality product that represents us and reflects the effort of the workers who do so much to ensure they reach the shelves, so I invite you to continue renewing that commitment not only with the public sector but with the industries to have a better region.”
Finally, the president of the Concordia Citriculturists Association, Walter Silva Müller, expressed his satisfaction that the festival is being held again, highlighting that “this is a moment for meetings, for gatherings where producers, the people who work in the citrus activity, come together and have something to enjoy.”
Present were the vice-mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; national deputy Nancy Ballejos; provincial legislators; members of the Municipal Executive Branch; councilors; mayors from the region; representatives of intermediate entities of the city; invited queens, and the general public.
