Daniel Passerini, Mayor of Córdoba, participated in the historic Ibero-American Cities Conference in Madrid, an event that brings together mayors from different cities around the world with the aim of strengthening local government role and address urban challenges with a transformative and local perspective.
In his speech, Passerini emphasized the fundamental role of cities in defending democracy, sustainable development and improving the quality of life of residents. He also posed with King Ferdinand VI of Spain. Among the mayor’s entourage, the contacts forged by the mayor at the European Conference stand out, which will bring new opportunities to Córdoba in the short to medium term.
Passerini emphasized the role of local government as a fundamental pillar of democracy in Latin America. He said that in a context where division and hate speech threaten democratic stability, cities have a responsibility to be spaces of cohesion and progress. “Local governments not only implement policies but also implement them. We are on the front lines, responding to people’s needs and ensuring the well-being of our communities,” the mayor said.
For the mayor, the Conference of Ibero-American Cities represents not only a space for dialogue but also a declaration of intention. “This meeting symbolizes the union of cities that transcend national borders, face common challenges and a desire for change. The integration of Ibero-American cities is not only a strategy to increase efficiency, but also a way to prove that multilateralism can provide concrete solutions to the problems we face way.
“Córdoba’s participation in this forum is an example of the city’s commitment. The Madrid Declaration offers cities a unique opportunity to become agents of change, promoting real transformation that prioritizes the well-being of citizens and the planet sustainable development.
