Dolores Hidalgo CIN/Gto News
The Governor of Guanajuato, Diego Sinhue Rodriguez Vallejo, led over the commemoration ceremony of the 213th anniversary of the Call for Independence in the Parish of Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, in Dolores Hidalgo.
From the door of the Dolores Parish, the Governor paid tribute to the start of the independence movement and evoked the call of Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla to take up arms, that morning of September 16, 1810.
The Governor and the special guests formed an Escort on the portico of the visiting house, made up of the Powers, Military Commanders, the Mayor and the Senator of the Republic, Xochitl Galvez Ruiz; and then headed for the Casa Hidalgo Museum, where they made an Honor Guard and placed a Floral Wreath.
After signing the Book of Distinguished Visitors, the Governor received a flag from the person in charge of the Casa Hidalgo Museum and then moved to the Atrium of the Parish of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores.
In the atrium of the Parish, the Governor rang the Dolores bell three times and launched the Call for Independence.
“Mexicans! Long live the heroes who gave us homeland and freedom! Long live Hidalgo! Long live Morelos! Long live Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez! Long live Allende! Long live Aldama! Long live Dolores Hidalgo, Cradle of National Independence! Long live the 200 years of Greatness of our State! Long live Guanajuato! Long live Mexico! Long live Mexico! Long live Mexico!”, the Governor called.
After the call, the Governor waved the flag and rang the bell. Immediately afterwards the National Anthem was sung and the Governor handed the flag to the Military Escort for its protection. Finally, there was a show of fireworks and music by Jose Alfredo Jimenez.
Later, Rodriguez Vallejo moved to the Independence Museum where he symbolically freed prisoners.
The Governor was with his wife and President of the State DIF, Adriana Ramirez Lozano and their daughters. Also present was the Brigadier General, Enrique Garcia Jaramillo, Commander of the 16th Military Zone; Katya Cristina Soto Escamilla, President of the Congress of the State of Guanajuato; and Maria Rosa Medina Rodriguez, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the State.
The call of Dolores, and all its symbolism, its organization and its contents, have contributed to the cohesion, inclusion and strengthening of the Dolores community, through the staging of the ceremony of the call of Dolores in each municipality and mayors office in Mexico, and beyond our borders.
For these and other considerations, in July 2021, Diego Sinhue Rodriguez Vallejo, Governor of Guanajuato, signed Government Decree 91 by which the Dolores Call ceremony is declared, Intangible Cultural Heritage of the State of Guanajuato as an expression of traditional and popular culture, so the safeguarding of said ceremony is declared to be of public interest.
