Tucumán, heart of Argentina, garden of the universe, fertile land of eternal spring, witness to South American dreams and illusions that germinated with hope 207 years ago on July 9, 1816, when the laurels bloomed in the middle of winter in the house of Doña Francisca Bazán de Laguna , merging the sacred cry of Freedom together with all the congressmen of the United Provinces. Tucumán, cradle of Argentine Independence, which over time and its patriotic airs inspired sons like Juan Bautista Alberdi to write the Bases and starting points for the political organization of the Argentine Republic. Tucumán, burning land, strength of the cane field, nostalgia for the peeler, you carry sweet saps, fragrances of orange blossoms; in you reigned the freedom of the bird and the flower. But today the excesses of freedom have become licentiousness; for learning to live by heart, easily, without facing the truths or valuing the experiences, forgetting the two ends of humanity, the child and the elderly. Man has his fundamental right to live with democracy, peace, solidarity, social justice and the common good, seeking economic, educational and health development. Tucumán, it is time to recover and imitate the efforts of our ancestors. Let’s be proud to be Tucumans.
