INSTITUTIONAL RELATIONS COMMISSION - President Luis Lara.
Our country is undergoing certain circumstances that trigger several questions, which amount to a concern for citizens in general.
High rates of uncertainty and skepticism are registered. Disbelief in Politics, the State and institutions in general are daily expressions arising out of the people’s idiosyncrasy, which cannot find the right path.
This situation demands a positive reaction, which helps to change this reality into an alternative vision of different proposals, giving the word the proper importance of its as the main instrument in communication. Achieving the communication of positive values helping to reengineer Argentine social culture is a challenge.
In the ADE the "Institutional Communication Forum" has been created.
