Argentina
They enact the law declaring San Miguel de Tucumán the symbolic capital of the country every July 9
The city will be the permanent venue for the central Independence Day events organized by the national government. In addition, measures linked to the Camino de Brochero and an agreement with the Camino de Santiago de Compostela were formalized.
The Government enacted Law 27,820, which establishes San Miguel de Tucumán as the symbolic capital of Argentina every July 9 and provides that the central Independence Day events organized by the national government be held permanently in that city.
The measure reinforces the link between the commemoration and the place where, in 1816, the Congress of Tucumán declared the independence of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata. According to C5N, the measure had already existed by presidential decree since 1991 and was now enshrined in law after its approval in Congress.
According to C5N, the initiative was promoted by the Tucumán senators Beatriz Ávila and Sandra Mendoza. Ámbito, for its part, noted that the declaration was part of a package of initiatives agreed upon by the ruling party with allied sectors in Congress, including the expansion of federal courts of appeals in Tucumán.
In parallel, the Government enacted Law 27,823, which incorporates into the intangible cultural heritage of the Argentine Republic the ritual, celebration and pilgrimage of the Camino de Brochero. According to Ámbito, the recognition covers expressions of devotion, pilgrimage routes and cultural activities linked to that tradition in Córdoba province.
The same law declared of national interest the memorandum of understanding for the dissemination and promotion between the Camino de Brochero and the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, in Spain. Ámbito reported that the agreement provides for preservation, dissemination and promotion actions for both traditions, as well as historical, religious, cultural, academic, social and tourism activities. It also indicated that among the planned measures is the creation of a passport for pilgrims, inspired by the experience of the Camino de Santiago.
