MEXICO CITY.- The representative of the Labor Party (PT), Ana Karina Rojo Pimentelpresented an initiative to declare on November 13 of each year like him “National Wellness Day”the same date of birthday of former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Until now, the only holiday that coincides with birth of a former president in Mexicoit’s March 21, for commemorate Benito Juárez.
The initiative does not mention López Obrador, but maintains that in Mexico, “the last few years have marked a change of course. The State has begun to reorient its actions towards a model that places people and their well-being at the center. It is no longer conceived as a favor or a privilege reserved for a few, but as a right that must be guaranteed with justice and equity.”
He points out that the choice of November 13 as a date to commemorate the National Wellness Day It is not arbitrary or fortuitous: “On the contrary, it responds to a series of considerations of a symbolic, strategic and social nature that allow us to give this date a deep national meaning.”
“First of all, the November 13 It does not interfere with any civic, historical or cultural commemoration of a national nature officially established in our country, which allows this day to be highlighted with its own identity within the civic calendar and facilitate its institutionalization without overlapping with other events of public relevance. Furthermore, it should be noted that November 13 coincides with the World Kindness Day, an international commemoration that promotes acts of compassion, empathy, generosity and respect.”
After its presentation, on October 14, the initiative was turned over to commissions for analysis.
