La Paz celebrates its liberating feat with displays of unity

La Paz celebrated its revolutionary past and demonstrated a unified front among its top officials, highlighting unity as the key to future progress. President Rodrigo Paz, Governor Luis Revilla, and Mayor César Dockweiler jointly commemorated the July 16, 1809, revolution, rekindling the flame lit by Pedro Domingo Murillo, the president of the Tuitiva Board.

“

Let's unite for a new liberating revolution. If that of 1809 was the beginning of the path to independence, may the revolution we need today be the path to liberating our productive forces.

President Paz invoked the creation of the Tuitiva Board, which led to the region's first "self-government." He urged Revilla and Dockweiler to collaborate for La Paz's development, calling for "a new liberating revolution." Paz stated, "If that of 1809 was the beginning of the path to independence, may the revolution we need today be the path to liberating our productive forces."

Governor Revilla emphasized that the state's homage to the martyrs of the July 16th Libertarian Cry should serve as a catalyst for progress and well-being. He paraphrased President Paz, stating, "Unity, unity, unity. That is what we paceños need today, to work together with our social, indigenous, and peasant organizations, and with elected authorities."

“

And that is done as they did, with unity. I will paraphrase the president saying: unity, unity, unity. That is what we paceños need today, to work together with our social, indigenous, and peasant organizations, and with elected authorities.

Mayor Dockweiler reflected on the significance of Murillo's Flame for the people of La Paz. He described it not as an inert monument but as a living symbol that "remains in our hearts." Dockweiler noted that after 53 days of confinement, the people of La Paz have rediscovered their strength, drawing parallels to the revolutionary spirit of the past.

“

It is not an inert monument, it is something that has life and remains in our hearts. After 53 days of being confined, the people of La Paz have revived that strength.
