Mayor Francisco Azcué received this morning Liliana Colino and Silvia Barrera, heroines of the Malvinas War who are visiting the city in the framework of the 25th anniversary of the General San Martín School, where they will be giving an open talk to the educational community and the general public with the aim of keeping the memory alive and reaffirming national sovereignty.
“It is an honor to receive two Malvinas heroines for everything they represent for us as an administration but also for the entire community of Concordia. This is part of a work of 'malvinización' and in defense of our national sovereignty,” highlighted Azcué.
The Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Carlos Gatto, highlighted the role of the educational community in this type of activity. “This is a very emotional moment and I thank the principal of the San Martín secondary school, who had this initiative to invite them to our city so that the students can learn more about Malvinas.”
LEGACY
Liliana Colino highlighted that “we take advantage of every invitation to continue with this process of 'malvinización', which is a legacy left to us by those who remained there. It is our obligation, it gratifies us, and it is a caress to the soul to have the opportunity to express all the feelings that a war implies.”
For her part, Silvia Barrera underscored the importance of sowing awareness in the new generations. “We hope that what we transmit is well received to promote 'malvinización' in schools, which is our duty and our function throughout the country. I hope this meeting has planted a little seed so that the children of Concordia and the entire province have more references about what the Malvinas conflict was,” she stated.
Guillermo Pérez, a member of the Malvinas Veterans Center of Concordia, stressed that “for us, having received heroines after so much time is a dream come true. Working on making visible to the citizenry that there were women in the Malvinas War is fundamental. We are grateful for this opportunity given to us by the Municipality of Concordia.”
Finally, teacher Liliana Rueda, representing the General San Martín School, informed that “tomorrow -this Wednesday- the school is holding a ceremony for its 25th anniversary and they will be present. Afterwards, they will be able to speak with the general public. It is open to the entire educational community and to all residents of Concordia.”
