Under the title 'The political and historical meaning of the Cantonal Uprising of Cartagena 1873', the chronicler Luis Miguel Pérez Adán will offer a conference next Thursday, July 12, at the Town Hall where he will explain, using historical data, what it really happened that day of 1873 in which the Cantonal uprising began.
The Canton was a movement that changed the national sociopolitical spectrum and now, 145 years later, still the citizens of Cartagena do not know the facts as they really happened.
An example of this is the anecdote that has been set in the popular imaginary about the Turkish flag used to be hoisted in the Galeras Castle and the performance of the volunteer who dyed the white crescent with his blood, when in fact the flag was already red
Pérez Adán will do, at 7:00 p.m., an exhaustive radiography of what happened in those days, and will remember some of the cantonal proposals that are unknown and that were pioneers such as the defense of universal suffrage, the separation of the Church and the State. , the sentence to the death penalty or the commitment to federalism.
The conference of the chronicler is part of the events organized to commemorate the 145th anniversary of the proclamation of the Canton of Cartagena, which will also include the rise to the Watchtower and raised the flag at 6:00.
