At the event, Eladio Santos thanked the delegate of Defense in Galicia, Jesús Ángel Paz Pena, and the subdelegate of Defense in Ourense, Jesús Peñas Preckler, for their "good disposition" to collaborate with the Subdelegation of the Government and congratulated them for their work to spread the culture of defense. "The effort to publicize your role is an example of an institutional vocation and service to democracy," he said.
The Deputy Government Delegate recalled that the Subdelegation of Defense is still open to the public with the exhibition "Gulías and the Subdelegation of Defense. His vision of wool city" until June 25 and encouraged people to come to know the work of the architect Daniel Vázquez -Gulías.
