Acapulco, Guerrero.- The president Andrés Manuel López Obrador confused José María Morelos y Pavón, who wrote the “Feelings of the Nation”, With Vicente Guerrero.
In his press conference, in the Eighth Military Region of Acapulco, López Obrador pointed out that a good ruler, anywhere in the world, has to have the main objective of serving the people.
“Ser, as Guerrero mentioned, servant of the nation. Remember that here in Chilpancingo the Sentiments of the Nation were made known, and that document is a catechism of social policy, brief, clear and deep. It was dictated by Vicente Guerrero to Andres Quintana Roo”Said the President, who is passionate about the history of Mexico.

The president recalled the historical passage: “I would say to him: ‘You, Mr. Lawyer, I know you are a man of letters, put down that poverty and opulence is moderated – and Quintana Roo wrote – but put it well, because you know how to write, Make sure that the son of the peasant and the barretero be educated the same as the son of the richest landowner. ‘ Quintana Roo said to him: ‘But what do I have to add if it’s very clear?’
“Imagine, that the son of the peasant and the son of the barretero are educated. Before, as now, there were many mines and the barretero was the one who worked in the mine, the laborer, that the son of the peasant and the son of the barretero be educated as the son of the richest landowner, “he said.
He pointed out that another thing that economists could not say so clearly and briefly is that “‘the salary of the laborer is raised, that there are courts that protect the weak from the abuses committed by the strong.’ That was Morelos, servant of the nation ”.
In this regard, the former president Felipe Calderon He pointed out in social networks that “Guerrero was not the Servant of the Nation, he was the great José Maria Morelos.”
No. Guerrero was not the “Servant of the Nation”, he was the great José Maria Morelos. Guerrero did not write the “Sentiments of the Nation” either, it was Morelos too. https://t.co/HWif2VyJOv
