This May 25, Argentina celebrates its festival in commemoration of the May Revolution, carried out as it is today, but in 1810. The mourning concluded in the constitution of the First Government of the Junta, which dismissed the Spanish viceroy, Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, who. He was in charge of the viceroy of the Río de la Plata.
The first board of government was composed of Comelio Saavedra, who served as president and commander of the armed forces; Marianus Moreno and John Joseph Paso, secretaries; and doctor Manuel Belgrano, presbyter of Manuel Alberti; John Joseph Castelli; Miguel de Azcuenaga; Domingo Matthew; and John Larrea, as members.
Before this event, Belgrano, Saavedra and Castelli asked the Cabildo de Buenos Aires that the viceroy support the request for an open call to the Cabildo. In the event that they did not, they stated that “the people are trying to do it by themselves or perish,” a document referred to from time to time.
This historic day contributed to the process of the emergence of the State of Argentina, which was to announce its independence six years later, on July 9, 1816.
This 2023, the national holiday coincides with the twentieth anniversary when the former president of Argentina, Nestor Kirchner, arrived at the Casa Rosada. And, although Kirchnerism – a center-left political movement that arose in 2003 – is divided, the Plaza de Mayo aims to fulfill this celebration.
In the event is expected the president of the nation Cristina Fernández de Kirchner; but not so the president of Argentina, Alberto Fernández. It is noteworthy that the celebration takes place a few months after the primary elections and on the way to the presidential elections.
As if that were not enough, Revolution Day is overshadowed by the economic crisis that is afflicting the South American region.
In the 20th, at least the 16th, Peronist leaders ruled Argentina.
