On Foz's 110th anniversary, perspectives and impressions of the resident
Read the portal’s opinion on the special section “Foz 110 years”, which gave a voice to more than 50 residents of the city.
The resident builds the city. And his vision of this common geographic space often differs from the official discourse, the platforms and the balance sheets of public agents, who often want to convince others of their dedication to governing rather than present solutions and results for real problems.
When celebrating the 110th anniversary of Foz do Iguaçu, in the endeavor to list perspectives, H2FOZ prioritized the citizenship of Iguaçu. During the thirty days of June, the month of the city's anniversary, the portal published more than forty special contents, from reports to articles, as well as interviews, photo essays, polls and infographics.
People who experience different contexts and realities joined the production of the essay. They generously wrote opinion pieces and contributed by proposing reflections on topics that affect the community, questioning, pointing out paths or drawing attention to demands that fail to receive the necessary attention.
In the surveys, residents pointed out how Foz do Iguaçu can be better for those who live there, from their own places in this group called community. Video testimonies covered all regions of the city, encompassed a variety of professional experiences and portrayed diverse social and generational stratifications.
If the voices of citizens were given priority, the special edition of the 110th anniversary did not dispense with the participation of institutional subjects. Holders of public, legislative and executive positions presented initiatives and actions, measures and projects for Foz do Iguaçu, with accounts recorded and submitted for public evaluation.
The anniversary special covered the quadrants of Iguaçu's memory, valuing characters who helped build the city in their time, rescuing events, facts, and achievements. The message that remains is that Foz do Iguaçu, and the public authorities specifically, must take on the obligation to take care of its history with commitment.
Between potentialities that are not repeated elsewhere, unfulfilled promises and hopes pushed into the future, the present is being built by many hands. But it is certain that in Vila Iguassu of yesterday or in Foz do Iguaçu of today, there is pride in belonging to a unique city.
