"Embattled government highlights bright spots for
Mexico's 200th anniversary"
by unknown
Mexico celebrated its bicentennial Independence Day from Spain. Each September 16 Mexicans celebrates traditionally "El Gríto" from Miguel Hidalgo, a priest whose call sparked Mexico's struggle for independence from Spain on September 16, 1810. This year President Felipe Calderon was scheduled to make the symbolic shout "Viva México" in the city's "Plaza de la Constitución" Constitution Square (the one of the largest plazas in the world) in front of two millions mexican citizens and fourteen thousand policemen and troops whose guard the peace. This celebration cost almost two hundred thirty two million just in Mexico City, eight tons of fireworks, two paradise with two hundred and fifty teenagers carrying replicas of natives, paddle-shaped nopal cacti on their heads, soldiers and heroes. The President, Felipe Calderon invited five Latin American presidents and dignitaries from fifty nations. It was a beautiful and motional celebration for all mexican.
All independence days for all nations are important in all ways. This year is special for one of the latin nations who is Mexico. This country has huge cultural and history issues that all world likes. This year the federal government prepared a unique celebration because it's the bicentennial independence from Spain. The mexican government spent a lot of money to made a memorial party and parade for all mexican and visitors. I'm pretty proud to be mexican because Mexico isn't just bad news like "The country is mired in a bloody drug war" or "The economy has barely begun to rebound from the global downturn", etc. Mexico is more than simple country with bad issues. It's a nation that work for best as another nations.
