The 215th anniversary of Mexico’s Independence Day was a historic event, after the first female president, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, gave the first Cry of Independence from the central balcony of the National Palace, located in Mexico City’s Zócalo.

Surrounded by thousands of people, the federal leader celebrated national sovereignty and freedom with a patriotic “Viva México!” chant.

While this marks a turning point in the country’s history, it is also necessary to recognize those state leaders who, like the president, gave their first Cry of Independence.
