At noon this Friday, Mayor Francisco Azcué and the Minister of Government and Labor of Entre Ríos, Manuel Troncoso, led the official inauguration of the Provincial Book Fair.
The activity took place at the Convention Center with the presence of 60 stands, numerous activities to enjoy, with guest authors, music, dance, theater, and the participation of publishers from both the province and the entire region.
Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted the honor of hosting the first edition of the Fair in Concordia: “This speaks to the importance our governor places on our city,” further noting that it is an event “that also allows all citizens to access works, meet authors, and add cultural events,” to which he emphasized the identity-related aspect of the space, as it brings together varied expressions that make up the work of the people of Entre Ríos.
Troncoso, for his part, remarked that “today we are setting a historic milestone for the culture of the province and the city; it is a landmark and we hope it will be the first of many fairs,” he expressed.
In that sense, the minister explained that Concordia was chosen as the starting point due to its cultural richness. “It is a city of great writers, with something not minor for the poetry of Entre Ríos, which is that it is linked to the river as a subject of inspiration,” he stressed.
Finally, the Secretary of Culture of Entre Ríos, Julián Stoppello, said that "we are happy for the participation of all citizens, for the great work we have been doing with the Municipality of Concordia, and for the turnout.”
The inaugural ceremony held this Friday was moderated by the renowned poet, singer, journalist, and cultural manager Roberto Romani.
It was attended by the Minister of Treasury and Finance of Entre Ríos, Fabián Boleas, the Vice Mayor of Concordia, Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, the Secretary of Government, Luciano Dell'Olio, the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Carlos Gatto, National Deputy Nancy Ballejos, and Provincial Deputy Marcelo López, among others.
