Last October 12, the National Holiday ceremony was celebrated with great pomp and pageantry in the Castellana of the capital of Spain, presided over by the King, president of the Government, and the majority of the national and regional authorities. The most spectacular event was the parade of members of the Armed Forces, Civil Guard, National Police and Maritime Rescue, and seven planes from the Águila Patrol were in charge of painting the sky of Madrid with the Spanish flag to open the parade, but a A failure in the gas tank of one of the fighters has caused the smoke to come out purple instead of red. Could it be some infiltrated pilot? Why is this event always held in Madrid? Are Cuenca, Huelva, Soria, Lugo, Lérida, Zaragoza also Spain? Or not, Mrs. Ayuso? And demanding this act or a Ministry for other places in Spain is not an attack on Madrid. Accepting this claim would be an act of solidarity with the rest of Spain. With that Spain that boasts so much about wanting.
Why do the Armed Forces, Civil Guard, National Police and Maritime Rescue have to be the only ones who parade in this act of exaltation of the National Holiday? Is it not so that the Head of State appears majestically in military clothing? I have nothing against those who marched. But why don't firefighters, bricklayers, Mercadona cashiers, teachers, janitors, housewives, plumbers, farmers, caregivers of the elderly, truck drivers, sweepers, etc. parade? They are also Spanish. Is your work less important? These have been essential workers Australia Phone Number during the lockdown. What do we celebrate this day, October 12? The question is not superfluous. If we asked the citizens, they would tell us that the day of the National Holiday. But, what feat do we remember this day to turn it into our National Holiday? Here I already have my doubts, as I suppose will happen to many of my compatriots, except for those whose doubt is outside their mentality. How lucky are those “patriots” who have everything so clear! This doubt does not arise for the French. They are very clear that their National Day is July 14, because on that day in 1789 a memorable event occurred, which was the capture by the Parisian people of the Bastille, a symbol of the Old Regime.
We Spaniards, I insist, do we know exactly what we commemorate every October 12? For some it is Hispanic Day , for others it is Race Day , Virgen del Pilar Day or Armed Forces Day . Is there a single event celebrated? Or two or three? Or are they all at the same time? The question is not easy to resolve. Spain began to commemorate the day of the founding of the Empire as a nationalist reaction after the loss of the last colonies in '98. First, it was Columbus Day that was celebrated from 1918 to 1958. Years later, the Franco regime The negative connotations of the concept of race with Nazism changed with the Hispanic Heritage Festival, which became a holiday. The concept of Hispanidad refers to an imaginary community of Spain and all the colonies of its empire, in which the Spanish language plays a fundamental factor. It goes without saying that Spain has the key role, while the other former colonial countries have a subordinate role. At the same time, in this imperial expansion the fundamental element is the Catholic religion that blessed it and gave it spiritual content. Next to the conqueror with the sword was the monk with the cross. For the founders of this festival, Race, Hispanicity and Catholicism were equivalent concepts.
