On the eve of Mexico's Independence Day, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered the national Cry of Independence (Grito de Independencia) from the National Palace balcony in Mexico City. She celebrated the nation's heroes and heroines, Indigenous and Afro-Mexican people, and Mexican migrants, marking the 216th anniversary of the Cry of Dolores.
Sheinbaum, the first female president to give the Grito, emphasized the dignity, freedom, equality, and justice of Mexico, while also defending the country against any external interference. The president rang the Campana de Dolores and waved the Mexican flag to the crowd gathered in the Zócalo, receiving it from a color guard of six female military cadets.
No incidents were reported during the massive celebration, which saw over 300,000 people attend peacefully.
