On Thursday night, fireworks are launched over the National Palace to signal the beginning of Mexico City’s Independence Day festivities.
Getty Images/Alfredo Estrella On Thursday night, bells rang throughout Mexico City, reenacting the iconic El Grito call to arms, which was issued in 1810 to fight against Spanish control and for independence.
Live Mexico! The enormous audience that had gathered in Mexico City’s Zcalo, the city’s central square, noisily echoed the president’s repeated shouts. He praised Mexico’s identity, culture, and indigenous people while also recognizing the difficulties the nation confronts.
“Death to corruption, death to discrimination based on race,” In Spanish, Lpez Obrador stated. The crowd yelled “Muera!” in response to each word. (Die!)

Edward Verdugo / AP The size of the massive throng was estimated differently. Mayor of Mexico City Claudia Sheinbaum stated that she had been informed that there were 130,000 people in the area at one point, but as the evening wore on into early Friday morning, she realized there were actually 140,000 people there.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed 2020’s celebration, it was Mexico’s first full-fledged Independence Day celebration. People celebrated with pleasure, donning green, white, and red paint as well as bushy artificial mustaches.

a video of the celebration, which was released by the government, showed a military honor guard presenting Lpez Obrador with Mexico’s tricolor flag before his benediction of the crowd, the national anthem, and a huge fireworks display.
YouTube As is customary, after the president’s brief statement, he repeatedly pulled on a long sash to ring the same church bell that Miguel Hidalgo rang in the town of Dolores 212 years prior to announce the commencement of the war against Spain and the struggle for Mexico’s destiny.

@GabiDomenzain Gabriela Domenzain reported 6 Mexico’s official Independence Day is celebrated on September 16. However, in order to recognize Dolores’ early-morning call to arms, celebrations start the previous evening.
The attendees at Lpez Obrador’s party put on an intriguing display. Evo Morales, the former president of Bolivia, Jos Mujica, the former leader of Uruguay, and Aleida Guevara, the daughter of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, all watched from the balcony of the National Palace. They were positioned next to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s father and brother, John and Gabriel Shipton.
