The Senate of the Republic approved, by 79 votes in favor and two abstentions, the inscription “Chiapas, precursor state of national independence and Mexican federalism” and “September 14, 1824” in gold letters on the Wall of Honor in the Session Hall.
The president of the Culture Commission, Beatriz Mojica Morga, noted that this recognition acknowledges that Chiapas is part of the nation’s great transformations, in addition to its rich heritage and biocultural heritage. This inscription, she said, commemorates its free and sovereign incorporation into Mexico, thus enriching the country.
Speaking, Senator Jorge Carlos Ramírez Marín of the PVEM (Poverty Reduction Party) stated that senators should be respectful of what is inscribed on the Wall of Honor, because while Chiapas is a land of quality, other states cannot be left out, given that there are states with merit, such as Zacatecas, the State of Mexico, Yucatán, Chihuahua, and Jalisco.
“We have to be extremely careful with the gold lettering, or the Wall of Honor will lose its effect,” he warned.
In this regard, the President of the Board of Directors, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, maintained that Senator Ramírez Marín’s call to attention regarding the care we must take with the golden letters is worthy of attention and should even “have minimum regulations for this type of procedure.”
Likewise, the Plenary unanimously approved, by 92 votes, the inscription in gold letters on the Wall of Honor of the Senate of the Republic, with the legend: “To the teachers of Mexico, for their contribution to the development of the country.”
Senator Ángel García Yánez, of the PRI, said that to endorse those who, with pencil, notebook, books, and values, have educated entire generations, to speak of the teachers of Mexico, is to speak of those who are “light and compass” on the path of each and every one of us, and of those who inspire each and every one of those who pass through our schools, so it is important to value the role of the teaching profession.
