My OperaHappy Constitution Day
Tuesday, February 5, 2008 12:00:00 PM
Today is the day of the constitution, the day the revolutionaries signed the constitution that reigns the country, it was signed a day like today February 5th in the "Teatro de la Republica" in those days called "Teatro Iturbide" in honor of the emperor of Mexico, in the then capital of the country, my city, Santiago de Queretaro, it was one of the most radical constitutions of the time, very socialistic in nature, which is nice since puts people first. If only the people respect the law!
Well due to the anniversary the president and gabinet is coming to town, in other times the entire federal goverment used to came, the congress, the president and the supreme court of the country, but in 1998 the presidential security wasn't that big as today, and they used to let the people gather arround to cheer the president, but in that ocassion some people weren't there to cheer him, but to boo him, and they actually attacked a bus full of congress men.
So after that the entire zone arround the Theater is closed and full of guards, and only press and VIP people are allowed to pass.
Well yesterday was a free day, no work, school or other due to the holiday.
