The governor of the province of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, thanked President Javier Milei, Vice President Victoria Villarruel and the national cabinet for participating in the Flag Day celebration, “an act that for many years has been ignored and even politicized,” he said.
In particular, he thanked the national president, Patricia Bullrich, Luis Petri, Mariano Cúneo Libarona and Guillermo Francos for the support received after the critical situation of insecurity that the city went through in March, when “narcoterrorism attacked the civilian population to break a decision of the constitutional government of the province.”
“You and other governors were there, without speculation, next to us,” the Santa Fe native acknowledged to highlight that “we showed that Argentines are stronger when we are together.”
“Here we are doing what needs to be done, we are putting order in the prison and on the streets. We are the three powers of the State together and the three levels of the State together, because in Rosario, we are a town of working people who want to live in peace and tranquility.”
At that point, he praised the figure of Manuel Belgrano and recalled when, in 1798, he wrote the project for compulsory and free state education and urged the promotion and promotion of agriculture, the care of industry and commerce.
“We echo that call that history makes to us to dialogue with our present but fundamentally with our future,” said Pullaro to warn that “we will always do it firmly but with a lot of respect and responsibility.”
Pullaro’s request to Milei
In a section of his speech, Pullaro asked the President to “look at the productive interior” and called for the infrastructure works that are missing “to deploy all the potential that our country has.” “But we also need our young people to be in universities to unite knowledge with the productive system.”
After recognizing that “we need fiscal balance,” he assessed that there is also a need for “economic development, growth and unifying our educational system with the productive system.”
“We need federalism,” said Pullaro to remember that “Santa Fe is the countryside, the industry, the commerce, the river, it is our port, but also our universities, it is the knowledge that is needed to get ahead.”
“Come back, you will always be welcome, every June 20, in pursuit of the unity of Argentina,” the Governor told the President, while pledging to support the development of fiscal balance.
He asked, however, to keep in mind that “we are the productive interior that always brought Argentina forward, we are working people who want to produce, we are the grandchildren of the immigrants and original inhabitants who made the country great, we are the children of Brigadier López who fought for federalism.”
