Illustrious citizen: a child has been singled out for having rid the Falkland heroes

Ignacio Elías has received the Rosario Distinguished Citizen's Award for his participation in the cenotaph every Sunday where he pays tribute to the Falklands heroes, the soldiers of the 1982 war, who fought for the sovereignty of the southern islands.

The President of the Veterans Center, Claudino Chamorro, and the Radical Councilor Pablo Javkin presented this distinguished prize to Ignacio this morning, who received him happily, dressed in a white T-shirt of the Malvinas, d & rsquo; Gray camouflage pants and black and gray sneakers.

After the delivery of the certificate by distinguished citizen, the child told Telam: "I told Pablo (Javkin) that while he is mayor, I make a bet: what about send the urban guard to take care of it and that I come twice a week ".

"I come every Sunday, except when it's raining or it's raining at 50 degrees," Ignacio recalled during the interview.

Ignacio also confessed: "I told my grandfather Miguel, who today could not come because he's sick, he could take me away because that my old men did not bring me. "

For his part, Chamorro told Ignacio in the brief statement of Citizen that "The Falklands are something to never forget and you, with what you do, share the same values ​​as those for which we fight. That's why you are proud, for your commitment, and that you are a little person who is advancing the cause of the Falklands for the future. "

Councilor Javkin also took the opportunity to tell Ignacio that "your friends, the Malvinas veterans, have proposed to the Council to distinguish you, as we do for the elderly because of their trajectory of years, because that when we were children like you, they did not speak to us A large part of the Falkland Islands was a forgotten question, and we voted all the councilors of all parties.

In the end, a Malvinas veteran then handed Ignacio a Newell jersey signed by the team's players.
