“El Grito” for Independence
In 1825, Guadalupe Victoria, first president of Mexico, designated September 16 as the official day on which Independence would be celebrated. However, over the years, Mexicans began the celebrations the night before, until 1896, when President Porfirio Diaz made it official. Other sources point out that in 1845, President Santa Anna officially established the “Grito Ceremony” to commemorate Miguel Hidalgo, the priest from Dolores who made his cry for independence before the insurgents. The ceremony was to be held every September 15 at 11pm, with the cry: Viva Mexico!
Budget approval in process for 2023
Treasury forecasts are that Mexico’s GDP will grow 3 percent, with inflation of 3.2 percent in 2023. Similarly, the dollar is forecast to be at 20.6 pesos; and the estimated oil price is 68.7 dollars per barrel. This is according to the Economic 2023 package proposal, delivered by the Treasury to Deputies for discussion and, where appropriate, approval. The Chamber is exclusively responsible for the annual discussion and approval of the Expenditure Budget. Given the recent differences that the parties of the Alianza Va por México (PAN, PRI and PRD) are experiencing, a long discussion is still expected for its approval. The Federal Government argues that this is a balanced and austere proposal, consistent with the difficult times that the global economy is experiencing.
Operation London Bridge
On September 8, the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, died. Her death gives rise to a detailed plan, a protocol that began to take shape in the 1960s. Under the code name “Operation London Bridge,” the plan delineates the steps that are to be followed in the ten days after her death. She is the longest-lived monarch in the country’s history. The document is referred to as D-Day, and subsequent days are referred to as D+1, D+2, and so on. On D+1 day, King Charles of Wales was proclaimed the new sovereign at Saint James’s Palace. On D+2 Day, the queen’s coffin returned to Buckingham Palace. The tenth day after the queen’s death will be proclaimed a National Day of Mourning and Westminster Abbey will host a state funeral.
September 17, 58th Anniversary of the National Museum of Anthropology
Since the first years of the country’s independence, there has been a desire for conservation, protection, research, and dissemination of cultural heritage. In 1822, the historian Lucas Alamán extended just such a request to Emperor Agustín I. The National Museum of Anthropology (MNA), which deals with such objectives, celebrates the 58th anniversary of its inauguration this year. It is positioned as one of the most emblematic cultural spaces in the country and internationally. It is also the most visited museum in Mexico.
It was conceived by the architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, and was inaugurated on September 17, 1964. Every Saturday in September, the museum offers free guided tours, from 12 to 1pm, where you can learn about the history of the Museum.
