With the signature of other figures such as León Gieco, Santiago Mitre, 'Palito' Ortega and Martín Caparrós, among others, the letter demands that the legislators "be up to the task" because "culture is the only thing that cannot be imported, the people do."
"We want to continue having our own identity as a Nation. Otherwise, we will only have the sad destiny of not being. That is what this fight is about. A country is as big or as small as the measure of its cultural project," says the requested.
