The (his)story of Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on May 5 to celebrate Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza.
Celebrating the military victory in 1862 over the French forces of Napoleon III. When in 1861 Mexico declared a temporary moratorium on the repayment of foreign debts, English, Spanish, and French troops invaded the country.
Don’t mention Cinco de Mayo to me.
My City, (our tax dollars) was funding, for years, an organization called, DPDA (Downtown Pasco Development Authority) to be in charge of the Cinco de Mayo parade, and a few other things. That parade, which the Mexicans love, lost money every year.
This year I learn from watching the council meetings that someone in that organization has been stealing the money. Grrrr!!!!!
Like I said the Mexican’s love the Cinco de Mayo parade but you see very few of them downtown watching the 4th of July parade.
