Like every year, Mexicans will enjoy holidays days and some “bridges”During 2021.
In February 2020, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced that he would propose the elimination of the “bridges” during the 2021, since now children ignore the historical dates behind the holidays days. During one of his conferences, the president said: “I know it is controversial, but I consider that whoever does not know where he comes from, does not know where he is going.
However, in May the president announced that the “bridges”They will stay another year due to pandemic of the Covid-19, since the new coronavirus has had a great impact on the tourism sector, so canceling the “bridgesIt would have an even more devastating effect on the industry.
“Now because more jobs were lost in tourism, because there at the request of the businessmen of the sector through the Secretary of Tourism, Miguel Torruco, I accepted that at least one year they continue with the ‘bridges‘, continue with the’ bridges, ‘”said President López Obrador.
Therefore, all the “bridges”And holidays will remain in 2021.
