Meanwhile, Roberto Barrientos, president of the Union of Ex-combatants (Com. Riv.) thanked the organization for the invitation and pointed out: «In these days we have fulfilled all the commemorative activities of April 2, and for us it is a pride that consider us, with this recognition. We appreciate it, it is a caress to the soul, as we always say. It is the memory of all those who went to fight for our country and the permanent memory of our comrades who remained there, as sentinels of our Malvinas Islands. On behalf of all of them, of those who stayed there and those of us who were lucky enough to return, our eternal gratitude for these recognitions to all the citizens of Comodoro Rivadavia. Thank you very much and sport is health.
For his part, Miguel Sosa, president of the Chubutense Federation, expressed: “It is a happiness to see you all after two years of the pandemic. A special thanks to the Malvinas veterans who are with us at this time and risked their lives, like those who remained there 40 years ago. I congratulate Emiliano Sillero for the impeccable organization, Hugo Arismendi for the clinic on Saturday, and all those who worked on it. I wish you a fabulous tournament, and that from now on we will put the activity back on its feet.
