San Millán de la Cogolla (La Rioja), (EFE) self-government”, which affects their youth.
Andreu has considered it “vital” to transmit to the younger generations that “La Rioja Day is not only a festive date or a tradition”, but “the ratification of a state of self-government that affects our activities, developments, decisions, forms of life and individual and collective liberties” and that “affects their youth”.
This was stated during his speech at the institutional act of La Rioja Day, in the Yuso de San Millán de la Cogolla monastery, which he dedicated to those who covd-19 “did not take away” and who “inspired every rooted effort to get over the tragedy.”
“Maintaining this state of affairs can only be the product of perseverance and transmission between generations: those that successively have to be both custodians and agents responsible for managing and optimizing the terms in which we have agreed to order ourselves”, he stressed.
DEFENDING THE INTERESTS OF LA RIOJA
In what has been her last speech in this act as President of the Government in La Rioja, she has assured that the new regional Executive (PP), emerged after the regional elections on May 28, will have her at her lake to defend the interests of this autonomous community.
“La Rioja can be served, with will, effort and ideas, from many sides”, he stated, “and, thus, the incoming Government can be sure that they will find me on their side whenever the interests of our community have to be defended , because it will be the way to defend those of Spain”.
It is about “mutual, coherent, non-negotiable, patriotic interests. I am absolutely convinced of this” and believes that “this is the democratic reason that legitimizes and sustains us”.
Personally, she has assured that, “above other things, I consider myself a woman, from La Rioja, who has had the opportunity to be president of the community during a legislature.”
“An honor to which I always owed myself and to which I have always tried to reciprocate”, stated the acting president, whose gratitude “is and will be for life to the citizens”; as well as her companions “in difficult times”.
He has wished “luck in every way” to the new Government of La Rioja and, “especially, to the extent that the general progress of this community may depend on it; as well as the rest of Spain”.
He has defended that the greatest luck that the Government he has presided over has had was “to receive the confidence of the people of La Rioja to take charge of its governance”, a trust that he has tried to honor with his work, carried out, during some fundamental sections, in “extreme” conditions due to the international circumstances suffered.
