A MILITARY PARADE AS ACT I FIND PRICIPAL OF THE DAY OF THE HISPANIDAD OUTSIDE OF PLACE

The National Party of Spain or Day of the Hispanidad. It commemorates the historical ephemerid of the DISCOVERY of AMERICA on the part of CRISTÓBAL COLON it is a very signal day, because he also takes place the Pilar's day in Zaragoza and numerous parties in Latin America. This anniversary had given place to numerous celebrations: The day of the race, the day of the national party of Spain Alfonso XIII denominated it, but it was October 12 de1939, after little more than six months of Spanish civil postwar period that the official celebration of the day of the Race is officialized, (it began being denominated this way then), presided over by the Commander Francisco Franco, he took place in Zaragoza, with a special devotion to the Pilar Virgin, in the Pilar's day, but mainly the importance of the act was that that day it derived to be the Day of the Hispania, symbol of the new interior and external politics that you propaganda from the dictatorship. 

The parties of the “Hispanidad” have had in Zaragoza an incomparable scenario. The deep meaning of the parties was the intimate understanding from the homage to the Race (it is supposed that in memory and recognition of the indigenous races that I slaughter the crown of Spain in its discovery of the new continent) and the devotion of Virgin of the Pilar, that is to say, maybe he sought to settle down a stronger bond of the more and more far away union between Iberian-America and Spain. But without being able to explain because he moved the official celebration to Madrid, as everything in Spain finishes taking place and being made in the court, and it was added this way to the day of the Hispania day of the National Party of Spain, naturally from then on this takes the prominent place of the day October 12. 

The first absurdity is presented in wondering because such an important anniversary as the discovery of America that of for if it justifies the festival day and the celebration of the day of the Hispania, he gets lost for the fact of absorbing it as day of the National party of Spain, it is that there is not form that Spain tolerates that there is anything but or so important, as herself, I believe as Spanish that is more important the fact of being the discoverers of the new world that the simple one made of Spain in yes, but our form of being cannot conceive that something that of for if it is important, it can be more important than the Spanish national spirit, everybody knows that Spain discovered and I colonize the America, to celebrate it in Spain and in the American world I don't believe that it removes us value or importance none to the fact of being Spanish. 

But not, this cannot be, he doesn't enter in the imperial mentality of the Spanish centralism, and this he decides to displace a fact of character and world relevance, for their own national party, and this gives cause in consequence, to change the party folkloric with a military parade, the most important of those that take place in Spain, because it is traditional that the national party of a country takes place with a military parade, but it is that these anniversaries usually commemorate acts of military victories that saved or they consolidated to the country or the nation.  

But Spain is different Spain October of every year 12, what seems that he makes it is to remember to the Hispanic world and its own state that its force and its cohesion is low it guides her of its military might (fact that today before the exhibitions of the armies of other countries almost gives laugh) that is shown in the face of the pride of the politicians and military, Spanish nationalist before the astonished eyes of the children, and before a fearful respect of its citizens. With this boast he wants to insinuate that the Hispanic unit and Spaniard is kept and gotten with the armies and the force, she doesn't have enough security in that with the single influence of the culture and the transmitted social work should be enough.  

It is a lack of political sense to seek that Spain is considered the mother of the cultures and towns of Hispanic speech, and you would originate of the Spanish conquests of the XV and XVI centuries, if in the day of its recognition he tells them, the party is mine, and with this I conquered you, I believe that it is a tremendous error fruit like I say of not wanting to change, of continuing being believed with the right of maintaining a greatness that got lost absolutely, I refer to the possession, to the territorial, and economic domain of what was the Spanish empire.  

However I believe that it would be recognized worldwide and for our towns of Latin America, an authentic popular party and ludic, loaded with party, of art, of exalting the Hispanic thing, but no. Spain we steal them their day, and to change we show them the main reason with which we maintained them low domain until they overcame us and we lost everything, fantastic and ridiculous celebration politics.
