[00:00:24] On September 15, some Central American nations
[00:00:27] commemorated the 205th
[00:00:31] anniversary of their independence, a historic
[00:00:34] date that commemorates the signing of the act of independence of
[00:00:38] 1821 in the city of
[00:00:40] Guatemala, an event that sealed the political emancipation of
[00:00:44] the Central
[00:00:46] Claudia to American provinces from the Spanish Empire. The patriotic
[00:00:49] day unfolded with official ceremonies and
[00:00:53] civic parades. In Guatemala, Independence
[00:00:57] Day is remembered through
[00:00:59] fuel prices, the defense of student and
[00:01:02] official parades. Amidst the fervor, some
[00:01:05] sectors of the population point out that there is nothing to
[00:01:09] celebrate because it does not represent the voices of cultural
[00:01:13] diversity in the
[00:01:14] country.
[00:01:19] Through dances, traditional dances, and the exhibition of nationalist
[00:01:22] symbols, students from the community of Santa María Dolores and
[00:01:25] Shanquiche participated in the national independence
[00:01:28] festivities. A tradition that also involved the
[00:01:31] population, a lot of joy, that's how I conclude
[00:01:35] it, a lot of joy, a lot of color, a lot of diversity, and that's something
[00:01:38] that fills me with pride for the
[00:01:41] community,
[00:01:45] the population assures that amidst the civic festivities, they gather to
[00:01:48] enjoy themselves collectively, they
[00:01:51] coexist, it's the nice thing that you have to coexist,
[00:01:54] although not all the time, but at least
[00:01:58] once a year or when an activity can be done,
[00:02:02] it's very nice to coexist, because
[00:02:04] you see different things or you learn different
[00:02:08] things. While in some territories, the inhabitants experience
[00:02:12] patriotic fervor, some sectors of the population question independence
[00:02:15] as an act that marked the beginning of the dispossession of original
[00:02:19] territories, because after independence
[00:02:22] they had the opportunity to
[00:02:25] cover large tracts of
[00:02:29] land. The best lands in Guatemala
[00:02:32] were registered
[00:02:34] or benefited the descendants of the
[00:02:38] Spaniards who were in
[00:02:40] deep deterioration of Guatemala. The aftermath of the independence signed by the
[00:02:43] oligarchy is mainly expressed in the daily lives of
[00:02:47] marginalized and peasant sectors who survive on less than
[00:02:50] $2 a day, emphasizes this teacher. Because
[00:02:54] the poor continue with the daily
[00:02:57] struggle to survive. They have to
[00:03:00] work hard,
[00:03:02] because that's what we
[00:03:05] see in daily
[00:03:08] life. Despite the exclusion of cultural
[00:03:11] diversity, the indigenous population made its presence felt
[00:03:14] and criticized the folklorization of
[00:03:16] 205 years after achieving its independence from its culture and valued that in some educational centers, reflections and
[00:03:20] collective memory were made about independence.

[00:03:25] Guatemala.
[00:03:28] On the 205th anniversary of independence, the
[00:03:31] Nicaraguan Youth celebrated with a day
[00:03:35] full of patriotic pride and a proclamation of love and
[00:03:38] peace.
[00:03:42] With an outpouring of expressions of identity and patriotic
[00:03:46] fervor, thousands of Nicaraguan students and
[00:03:49] young people gathered in
[00:03:52] for us and for the the Plaza de la Revolución in Managua, to commemorate the
[00:03:56] demands, sectors of 205th anniversary of the independence of Central America.

[00:04:37] ourselves, to live, to advance,
[00:04:40] to continue making paths of concord and well-being, we are
[00:04:44] youth, victorious energy, supreme
[00:04:48] interference with the policies of loyalty and fidelity, and we always aim with with the hand of God, that
[00:04:53] filmmakers in Latin America learn from the portrayal of illustrious patriotism, we swear to defend peace and the right of Nicaraguan
[00:04:55] families to a full and safe life, with
[00:04:59] all the soul that distinguishes us and in the heat of all the flames
[00:05:03] that announce our new triumphs in the 205 years
[00:05:07] of our independence we are guerrillas and warriors of
[00:05:10] light, life and truth. 205 years
[00:05:14] Nicaragua moves forward because it has sons and daughters who
[00:05:18] love it and because we know how to value and work to
[00:05:22] continue to be free. During the day, the co-president
[00:05:25] of Nicaragua, compañera Rosario Murillo, greeted Nicaraguan
[00:05:29] families on the occasion of this historic date,
[00:05:32] highlighting the significance of independence and national
[00:05:35] sovereignty. With our President youth,
[00:05:38] our women, men,
[00:05:41] grandparents. Girls and boys, our President
[00:05:44] families, we reaffirm today
[00:05:48] that the bright future of Nicaragua is being created by all
[00:05:51] of us together, with supreme love,
[00:05:55] loyalty, fidelity, brotherhood, because
[00:05:59] we know of honors and splendors, of
[00:06:02] struggles, glory and victory. On this
[00:06:05] 205th anniversary, our
[00:06:08] thoughts and hearts
[00:06:10] recognize all the heroes,
[00:06:14] all the martyrs of this homeland of ours,
[00:06:17] it vibrates and raises our sovereign
[00:06:21] flag, walking forward, always further
[00:06:25] towards the bright future that
[00:06:28] we are creating and that
[00:06:30] we deserve.
[00:06:34] Thus, Nicaragua commemorates its independence,
[00:06:38] reaffirming its commitment to continue strengthening sovereignty
[00:06:41] the...
[00:06:50] Central America commemorated its 205 years of
[00:06:54] independence amidst social reflection and youth
[00:06:57] mobilization, while in Guatemalan
[00:07:01] communities, popular festivities coexist with critical
[00:07:04] stances that question the historical consequences
[00:07:07] of dispossession and inequality in indigenous
[00:07:10] peoples in... Paragua thousands of young people
[00:07:14] gathered to ratify their commitment to peace, sovereignty
[00:07:18] and national identity.
[00:07:42] is behind every story, with a deep and
[00:07:46] committed gaze, we decipher the details that shape our
[00:07:50] present and future, along with the voices of the people that resonate
[00:07:53] in every corner of the world. Telesur
[00:07:57] reports, a unique and authentic
[00:08:00] perspective that reveals the stories they try to
[00:08:03] hide and captures the essence of our
[00:08:06] continent, one story at a time, every
[00:08:10] Saturday.
[00:08:56] In Mexico, the anniversary of the country's independence was also
[00:09:00] celebrated. The commemoration was
[00:09:03] led by President Claudia Sheinbaum who, before
[00:09:07] thousands of people, gave a speech that
[00:09:10] underlined sovereignty and... the inclusion of historically
[00:09:13] marginalized groups such as indigenous people,
[00:09:17] Afro-Mexicans, and
[00:09:19] migrants.
[00:09:22] Mexicans celebrated 216 years of the traditional cry of
[00:09:26] independence that began the struggle that culminated in their liberation from the Spanish
[00:09:29] crown. Long live Mexico.
[00:09:33] Long live Mexico.
[00:09:35] Dressed in green, white, and red ornaments and garments, the colors of the national
[00:09:39] flag, thousands of people crowded the capital's
[00:09:42] Zocalo to celebrate national sovereignty, to have
[00:09:46] the right to decide how to live freely, I think that's the most
[00:09:50] important thing for Mexicans, despite all the
[00:09:53] political conditions in the country, I'm happy that
[00:09:57] we have a president who is representing us and who is now going to
[00:10:00] give the cry of independence, for me it's incredible
[00:10:04] that a woman today is in power, for me the
[00:10:07] importance of independence is that we are
[00:10:11] independent, that we are
[00:10:16] And it's no wonder, a recent survey indicated
[00:10:25] that the pride of being Mexican went from 56%
[00:10:29] in 1990 to 93% in this
[00:10:32] 2026. Our pride as Mexicans for me
[00:10:36] is our food, our traditions
[00:10:40] and that we celebrate it as a family, speechless, with
[00:10:43] a lump in our throats, with tears in our eyes and with goosebumps,
[00:10:47] Mexico is lived on the skin, as you are seeing here with goosebumps,
[00:10:51] with a diversity of people, of
[00:10:54] flavor. and colors, the cultural richness, the
[00:10:58] food, all the gastronomy, obviously such a
[00:11:01] beautiful flag, our national anthem, all our roots
[00:11:05] that we carry, in this way families, groups of friends and even
[00:11:08] tourists accompanied President
[00:11:11] replicate the traditional independence
[00:11:14] speech,
[00:11:16] Mexicans,
[00:11:23] long live independence.
[00:11:28] Long live Miguel Hidalgo and
[00:11:31] Costilla.

[00:11:38] Girón.
[00:11:42] Long live José María Morelos and
[00:11:45] Pavón. This year the president
[00:11:48] added elements to the speech that emphasize national sovereignty and
[00:11:52] freedom, as well as the recognition of
[00:11:55] previously excluded sectors of the population,
[00:11:58] long live indigenous and Afro-Mexican
[00:12:02] peoples,
[00:12:05] long live, long live our migrant sisters and
[00:12:09] brothers, long live,

[00:12:29] long live, long live
[00:12:31] democracy,
[00:12:35] long live a free, independent and
[00:12:38] sovereign Mexico, at the conclusion of the
[00:12:42] official protocol, a fireworks display
[00:12:45] lit up the sky and brought joy to the
[00:12:48] attendees.
[00:12:55] The popular vein extended until dawn with regional
[00:12:59] Mexican music. Antonio Aranda Telesur, Mexico
[00:13:02] City.
[00:13:05] Last September 16, Mexico celebrated 216 years
[00:13:09] since the beginning of its independence struggle, which was completed
[00:13:13] 11 years later. The celebration in Mexico was led by the President of the
[00:13:16] Republic Claudia Sheinbaum, who performed the traditional cry of
[00:13:19] independence from the central balcony of the National Palace before thousands of
[00:13:23] people who filled the Zócalo, the capital. During her traditional
[00:13:26] speech, in addition to remembering the national heroes, she added the
[00:13:30] indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples and recognized that equality, justice, and
[00:13:34] democracy are part of a free, independent, and
[00:13:38] sovereign Mexico today.
[00:13:41] the Spanish crown, Mexico managed to abolish it, managed
[00:13:45] to abolish slavery, advanced in agrarian and
[00:13:48] labor reform, has developed a solid democracy that has recognized
[00:13:52] women's rights for decades. The challenges, like
[00:13:55] any nation, are constant in areas such as public health, economy,
[00:13:59] public education, and human rights; however, the current institutions
[00:14:03] of the Mexican government maintain a constant structural
[00:14:06] transformation to combat historical inequality and consolidate a
[00:14:10] robust, equitable, and dynamic
[00:14:12] rule of law.
[00:14:15] Amidst flags, slogans, and social
[00:14:21] the opposition and popular organizations
[00:14:24] took to the streets of the Honduran capital on September
[00:14:27] 15 to reclaim national
[00:14:30] sovereignty, reject foreign interference,
[00:14:36] the current administration on a day marked by the
[00:14:40] call "Out with Trump, out with the
[00:14:43] gang."
[00:14:45] While Honduras commemorated its 205 years of
[00:14:48] independence. The streets of its capital were also
[00:14:52] the scene of a political mobilization.
[00:15:03] students marched with flags, banners and
[00:15:06] slogans, such as "Out with Trump, out with the gang," expressing their
[00:15:10] rejection of foreign
[00:15:13] the current administration and
[00:15:16] it is attacking all the rights and
[00:15:19] all our lands, so we are here
[00:15:22] always as a popular movement, trying
[00:15:25] to push and uplift the people so that we can fight
[00:15:29] again, so that we can return to the streets and we can recover and we can
[00:15:32] truly have sovereignty over our country, this is where we
[00:15:35] were born, in the streets. faced with an act of injustice like the
[00:15:39] coup d'état of 2009 and we
[00:15:42] remain united always, like every
[00:15:46] September 15, like every May Day. The
[00:15:49] mobilization advanced through the main streets of downtown
[00:15:52] Tegucigalpa, in a day that turned the
[00:15:56] national holiday into a space of protest and political
[00:15:59] questioning, among the demands were the defense of national
[00:16:03] sovereignty, the rejection of the intervention of
[00:16:06] external interests.
[00:16:37] facts, so against that we come today to
[00:16:40] demonstrate, to raise our voices against the
[00:16:43] privatization of public institutions, because that
[00:16:47] violates our rights as Hondurans. The
[00:16:51] day concluded with a speech by Rixi Moncada, one of the
[00:16:54] main leaders of the Libre Party, who addressed the
[00:16:57] demonstrators and vindicated the fighting
[00:17:00] nature of the mobilization, in front of a crowd that
[00:17:03] waved red and white flags and held up banners.
[00:17:07] Moncada once again placed Honduran sovereignty at the center
[00:17:11] of the debate and questioned the decisions of the current
[00:17:15] government, initiating a
[00:17:18] new stage of unity, of
[00:17:21] organization for national
[00:17:25] independence, of unity and of
[00:17:27] organization
[00:17:32] to overthrow the gang, of unity and of
[00:17:35] organization.
[00:17:37] to defeat fraud,
[00:17:41] deception, coercion,
[00:17:44] threats,
[00:17:45] lies,
[00:17:48] and the hitmen of truth, the
[00:17:51] hitmen of truth, we must
[00:17:54] defeat them in the corporate press, but
[00:17:57] we must also defeat them on social media,
[00:18:00] the protest thus left a different image of the
[00:18:04] independence celebration, alongside the
[00:18:06] parades. A part of Honduran society
[00:18:10] used the streets to express dissatisfaction
[00:18:13] and demand self-determination. The
[00:18:16] controversy also reached the educational system,
[00:18:20] after the provisions issued to regulate patriotic
[00:18:23] acts and the warnings about
[00:18:25] sanctions against the political use of these activities
[00:18:29] amidst the debate about the limits on
[00:18:33] expressions of rejection of the government during national
[00:18:36] celebrations.
[00:18:38] For Telesur, from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Karim
[00:18:42] Duarte.
[00:18:46] The independence commemorations in Mexico and
[00:18:49] Honduras reflect how the national holiday is
[00:18:52] used differently depending on the circumstances of each
[00:18:56] country. While in the North American nation, the
[00:19:00] festive framework served to consolidate popular
[00:19:03] unity and state cohesion through an
[00:19:07] official inclusive rhetoric that reaffirms
[00:19:10] sovereignty from institutional power, in
[00:19:13] Tegucigalpa, the national anniversary was
[00:19:16] reappropriated by citizens and social
[00:19:19] organizations as a space for
[00:19:22] resistance and ideological dispute, turning
[00:19:26] the event into a platform for active
[00:19:29] political demands against privatization and foreign
[00:19:32] interference.

[00:22:04] In the framework of the commemoration of the 205
[00:22:08] years of Central American independence, in El
[00:22:11] Salvador, the social movement took to the streets
[00:22:15] to shout its discontent at the government of Najib
[00:22:19] Bukele.
[00:22:22] It is seen, it is felt, Movir is
[00:22:24] present. In the midst of the state of exception, social
[00:22:28] organizations called for this popular march. The mobilization
[00:22:32] coincides with the commemoration of the 205 years of Central American
[00:22:35] independence. Well, for us there is no
[00:22:39] independence when there are people who have been unjustly
[00:22:43] captured, without due process, they have
[00:22:46] violated all human rights. Even international
[00:22:50] agreements count human rights in this country, trade
[00:22:54] unionists, health workers and dismissed
[00:22:57] teachers marched, sellers, environmentalists,
[00:23:00] communities, women and
[00:23:03] relatives of detainees under the state of exception also joined,
[00:23:07] each sector with its own slogans and
[00:23:10] complaints. We do it with all the
[00:23:14] conviction and with all the energy to
[00:23:17] continue denouncing all the abuses and...
[00:23:20] the precarious situations that our country is facing,
[00:23:24] we are facing a situation that is getting
[00:23:27] worse and worse, there is a
[00:23:30] the material living conditions of our people,
[00:23:34] increased poverty, and there are also reforms and
[00:23:38] deterioration in the democratic
[00:23:41] issue, and today I am here
[00:23:43] precisely for the independence that gives us back
[00:23:46] our rights that the regime has for the people who are
[00:23:50] gang members, not for the working
[00:23:54] civilian people like my son,
[00:23:57] they also complained about the thousands of dismissals in the public
[00:24:01] and private sectors, there are already 47 workers from the public
[00:24:05] and municipal sectors who have been unjustly
[00:24:08] dismissed, there is no
[00:24:11] swift justice for the working
[00:24:15] class, tricks are used
[00:24:18] such as the suppression of... and due processes are not
[00:24:21] respected, private companies continue to dismiss
[00:24:25] workers, most of them women from maquiladoras,
[00:24:29] violating job stability,
[00:24:32] they walked the streets of San Salvador demanding respect for the rights
[00:24:36] of workers, this September
[00:24:38] 15
[00:24:42] trade union movement must mean having
[00:24:46] decent employment, job stability.
[00:24:51] respect for labor law,
[00:24:54] respect for trade union freedom, this is the final
[00:24:57] victory, the flags of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Palestine and
[00:25:01] Lebanon waved among the crowd, as a popular
[00:25:04] expression of solidarity with those
[00:25:06] peoples.
[00:25:08] Hundreds of people marched in the midst of a state of exception that
[00:25:12] limits some constitutional guarantees, however
[00:25:15] they say that the demands must be made in the streets despite
[00:25:19] the risk that exists. Roberto Hugo
[00:25:22] Presa, Telesur, El
[00:25:24] Salvador. Protests and
[00:25:27] demands in different points of the Central
[00:25:30] American Isthmus, social organizations, trade
[00:25:33] unions, students, workers, also took advantage of a civic
[00:25:36] date to march against economic measures, impunity,
[00:25:40] restrictions on freedom of the press and human
[00:25:44] rights, making it clear that one cannot speak of independence when the
[00:25:48] people are impacted by the economic crisis and democratic
[00:25:51] setbacks. In addition, leaders of Central American
[00:25:54] social movements point out that the people cannot
[00:25:58] celebrate independence when governments in the region
[00:26:01] remain submissive
[00:26:06] The commemoration of the 205 years of Central American
[00:26:09] independence took place between two converging
[00:26:12] realities: on the one hand, a series of
[00:26:15] institutional acts, diplomatic tributes,
[00:26:18] and patriotic parades were deployed
[00:26:22] that sought to consolidate the historical memory
[00:26:25] and bicentennial tradition of the
[00:26:28] continent. On the other hand, the date has transformed
[00:26:33] into a platform for mobilization where
[00:26:35] social movements, political forces,
[00:26:38] and community organizations questioned
[00:26:41] the real scope of the economic and social
[00:26:45] emancipation of the population. Organized
[00:26:48] citizens took advantage of this national
[00:26:51] conjuncture to take to the streets concrete
[00:26:55] demands. The rejection of the impact of inflation
[00:26:59] and the rise in
[00:27:02] national sovereignty against foreign
[00:27:05] interference, and the demand for public policies
[00:27:09] aimed at social justice and dignity.
[00:27:13] In this way, the independence anniversary
[00:27:16] is reaffirmed in the present as a day of popular
[00:27:20] demand to overcome the structural challenges
[00:27:23] that still affect the peoples of the
[00:27:26] region. Until a next installment of
[00:27:30] realities.
[00:27:47] Our concepts of the human condition of other peoples and the
[00:27:50] duty of brotherhood and solidarity were never and
[00:27:54] will never be betrayed. Tens of thousands of Cuban
[00:27:57] doctors and health professionals scattered throughout the
[00:28:00] world are a compatible testimony to what I affirm, for
[00:28:04] them there will never be language barriers,
[00:28:07] sacrifices, dangers, or obstacles. Fidel
[00:28:11] Castro. September 19, 2005,
[00:28:14] speech delivered at the act of constitution of the international
[00:28:17] contingent of specialized doctors in
[00:28:20] disaster situations and serious epidemics, Henry Riff,
[00:28:23] held at the Sports City Coliseum, Havana,
[00:28:26] Cuba.
