In 2023, Argentina celebrates 40 years of democracy.<\/em><\/strong> The date taken as a starting point is the inauguration of Ra\u00fal Alfons\u00edn<\/strong> as President of the Nation on 10 December 1983, opening a new political cycle of 40 years of uninterrupted democracy. A cycle in which democracy is the fundamental premise of life in common, with differences and room for disagreement, marking a break with a past marked by the evils of a ferocious dictatorship.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On this occasion, Casa Am\u00e9rica<\/strong> is organising in its Gabriela Mistral Amphitheatre next Thursday from 5 p.m. onwards, a discussion that aims to analyse the restoration of democracy in Argentina, known for its strong commitment to the policies of Memory, Truth and Justice,<\/strong> as well as to expose the international context in which the return to democracy took place. Commemorating these 40 years is an opportunity to renew the freedoms and rights achieved and to glimpse the construction of a new citizenship committed to respect for differences and the protection of human rights in the search for the common good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Enrique Ojeda,<\/strong> Director General of Casa de Am\u00e9rica, and Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodr\u00edguez Zapatero, <\/strong>former Prime Minister of Spain, will welcome the participants. The first panel discussion will focus on The Restoration of Democracy in Argentina,<\/em><\/strong> with Fernando Mart\u00ednez L\u00f3pez,<\/strong> Secretary of State for Democratic Memory of the Spanish Government, and Javier Franz\u00e9,<\/strong> Professor of Political Theory at the Complutense University of Madrid.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second panel will deal with the International Context in the Return to Democracy, <\/em><\/strong>with Mariano Jabonero,<\/strong> Secretary General of the OEI, and Esther del Campo, <\/strong>Dean of the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology at the Complutense University of Madrid. The event will be closed by Enrique Iglesias,<\/strong> the first Ibero-American Secretary General. Ricardo Alfons\u00edn,<\/strong> Ambassador of the Argentine Republic, will accompany the attendees throughout the event. Free admission until full capacity is reached.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Argentina celebrates 40 years of democracy.
