Suerte para vos, Adrián, y para los colegas Carlos Bedoya y Luis Moreno (Latindadd), que vienen desde Lima a participar en este evento. Se trata, como Uds bien saben, del tercero de una serie trianual y del primero al que no he sido invitado a exponer. Quisiera ser formalmente informado acerca del responsable institucional (Latindadd, TJN y / ó alguno / s de los organismos del Gobierno de Argentina coorganizadores del evento) y las razones de esta decisión, que ha sido tomada a menos de 18 meses de la “desaparición” de nuestro centro de investigaciones (el CEFID-AR). De todos modos, espero disfruten de estas Jornadas. No tengo pensado concurrir como público. Queda a la espera de vuestra respuesta y les saluda atentamente
