On a stage in front of the monument and with the Paraná River in the background, the Governor said that the flag is the "maximum symbol of the homeland’s unity, the emblem that synthesizes the spirit necessary to deal with the challenges of these times".
Then, in reference to the conflict that the country maintains with the bondholders that did not accept the bond exchange (debt restructuring), the Governor said that this instance "should find us united, seamless, with maturity, dialogue and transparency to negotiate on the basis of all the Argentineans interests. We must face the rivals together, as a team," he said.
In another section of his speech he also spoke about "social violence, which requires efforts from all of us to put an end. We are citizens who need to be reunited, feel close, look at each other without fear, and from the Government of the province we are working to achieve it."
"From Santa Fe we work for coexistence based on the values that are good for us as a society, facing the power of criminal organizations, and pursuing policies of inclusion", stressed Bonfatti and at the time he highlighted "the joint work with the Federal forces, to safeguard the Santafesinos the basic rights to life and property,” said Bonfatti.
"Once again - he added, I want to make a call to strengthen mutual respect, solidarity, trust, the culture of work in our society and effort, unity in diversity; I want to say to every Santafesino that we are going to continue working this way, fighting for the Argentina that we dream, in coexistence and peace."

Then Bonfatti handed the President the Executive Order "Guest of Honor", and it was shown the collaborative music video "Love Flag", carried out by the Ministry of Education of Santa Fe.
"THE COUNTRY MUST BE DEFENDED BY ALL OF US"
During the ceremony, the President presented a new 10 pesos note that will be in circulation in 6 months, and defined Belgrano "as a politician without precedent, and the other parent of the homeland, together with José de San Martín."
