This morning the municipality of Neuquén held the ceremony for the 213th anniversary of the May Revolution, in the Jaime de Nevares Park. The first speaker was the doctor in History and Rector of the National University of Comahue, Beatriz Gentilewho participated together with the mayor Mariano Gaido, municipal and provincial officials and residents of the city.

“If there is a date to think regarding what country we want, what society we seek, how we are going to take decisions in our hands, it is May 25,” he said. For the historian, this national date represents the “synthesis of a question that began to travel through Hispanic America: Who is in charge and in whose name? That was a central question for men and women in these lands to build a path towards emancipation from one of the greatest empires of those times.

He considered that the answer to that question will take time to arrive, and that is why we have to take into account two dates that pose the same thing: May 25 and July 9. Begin to think regarding these questions that today Argentina also has to assume. «It was not an easy path because the wars for independence were long and difficult, with twists and turns, betrayals, successes and heroic missions, a process that had to be settled in the midst of the conflict.“he added.

The former decade of the Faculty of Humanities continued: «The same question from 213 years ago that is so important to ask. What an important question in these times of Argentina, in these world times, in these times of the Latin American continent. What better than to think regarding how we are going to get our hands back and build a fair and equitable national destiny. A solidary Argentina, that builds that path of equity«.


“From the city of Neuquén we call for unity”


He intendedente Mariano Gaido He was in charge of leading the act for the national day in the Neuquén capital and demanded to forget the cracks and go following unity.

From the city of Neuquén we call for unity, a city that has been an example, that has continued what was good, that in no way did we break what had been developing and made progress in what was needed. A city that expressed itself by working together with the province and without a doubt we can get to have different views, but we prioritize the common and the growth, development and future of our neighbors and our people”, he assured in the act that It was held in the Jaime de Nevares Park.

Gaido said that Argentines “know a lot regarding the spirit of freedom, a spirit of deciding what we want, deciding what belongs to us and what is ours, we, our people.” After reviewing the process of May 25, 1810 and July 9, 1816, the communal chief struggled to set aside partisan, personal, “for going ahead with a common policy that this Argentine people need.”
