Macri Trabajadoguas at the Congress of Language and …

"Imagine that Argentineans, Peruvians, Bolivians and Bolivians speak here and that we need translators to speak to Uruguayans." With this sentence, President Mauricio Macri tried to graphically represent the importance of the language to inaugurate the VIII International Congress of the Spanish Language celebrated in Cordoba with the presence of Spanish kings.
