In a session marked by the modernization of informal labor and cultural promotion, the Deliberative Council received the bill to definitively eradicate the use of carts.
The Deliberative Council of Concordia ratified this Thursday its commitment to an agile legislative agenda connected to current demands. During the 8th Ordinary Session, presided over by the Dr. Felipe Sastre - in the absence of the head of the body -, 25 administrative case files were entered that define the course of local management, highlighting animal protection and the strengthening of culture.
A historic milestone: The end of TAS
The point of greatest political significance was the formal entry of the Ordinance Project for the Definitive Eradication of Animal-Drawn Traction (TAS). The initiative, promoted by the councilors of Juntos por Entre Ríos, Felipe Sastre and Silvina Ovelar, seeks to settle a historic debt of the city.
Beyond animal welfare, the project proposes a comprehensive modernization scheme. The objective is to offer dignified and technical labor alternatives for those who currently depend on carts, transforming informal work into a safer and more efficient activity. "The management's priority is to guarantee order in Concordia, without this implying restricting the employment opportunities of any resident," Sastre stressed in this regard.
The book as a bridge and cultural engine
Within the framework of the International Book Day, councilor Mauricio Rey highlighted the role of reading as a link between generations. Every April 23rd, the world unites in a celebration that smells of new paper and ink: the International Book and Copyright Day, noted councilor Mauricio Rey to commemorate this date. UNESCO chose this date in 1995 due to a curious (though debated) historical coincidence. It is said that on April 23, 1616 three giants of universal literature passed away: Miguel de Cervantes William Shakespeare. Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.
During his speech, he recalled the validity of Ordinance 38,759 (enacted in 2025), which gave life to the “Reading Week”program. In this context, an invitation was extended to the entire community to participate in the activities that will take place this Friday at Plaza 25 de Mayo, a day dedicated to fostering the reading habit and supporting the publishing industry of our region, he concluded.
Recognition of roots: Volga German Immigrants
The session also had an emotional moment with the declaration of Municipal and Cultural Interest of the celebrations for the Volga German Immigrant Day, to be held this Friday, April 25, at the Club del Tango. The councilors presented the recognition to the representatives of the community present, highlighting their fundamental contribution to the cultural identity of Concordia.
A "New" legislative agenda
Of the 25 administrative case files addressed, the majority were referred to committee for in-depth analysis.
