Bicentennial??
I am so confused!!
Why are we celebrating September 15, 1810??
We celebrate that day because Porfirio Díaz wanted to celebrate his 80th birthday on that day in 1910... In any case, we should be celebrating the 16th because that's when it all started....
Anyway, I have a list of dates that are more relevant than the one we celebrate.
- August 25, 1821: Juan O'Donoju (the last viceroy) acknowledges the Mexican Independence from Spain.
- September 27, 1821: Victorious entrance of the army in the country's capital
- September 28, 1821: Signing of the declaration of Independence
In any case.... there is no bicentennial... We haven't been independent for 200 years!!! That is such a lie!!
And these series of celebrations do nothing but upset me because the media and the government don't tell the truth: that we are celebrating the bicentennial and the centennial of the start of the two most important revolutionary movements in Mexico.
Anyway... let's all get together and join the celebrations!! Even though I doubt they'll be better than the ones a 100 years ago....
