The deputy for district 3 of Tamaulipas made a mistake during the Grito de Independencia ceremony.
On the occasion of the 214th Anniversary of the Beginning of the Independence of Mexico, in addition to the President of the Republic, ambassadors, governors and municipal presidents, some deputies and senators joined the celebrations by performing a Grito de Independencia. The legislator Sergio Ojeda Castillo also sought to participate in the commemorative acts, although in his intervention he made a mistake.
The deputy of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) for district 03 of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, went viral on social media due to an error during his performance of the Grito de Independencia. And it is that instead of mentioning the name of Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, he mentioned the name of Josefa Ortiz de Pinedo.
“Long live Josefa Ortiz de Pinedo!” she shouted to the audience at her event while waving the Mexican flag in her hands. However, in the following seconds she realized her mistake, so she made a correction on the microphone. On this occasion, it was necessary for a member of the audience to remind her of the correct surname, although she shouted “Long live Josefa Ortiz… de Domínguez!”

The moment was recorded and widely shared on social media. It is common for Mexican politicians to make mistakes when mentioning the name of one of the heroes of Mexico’s Independence. In this sense, it provoked all kinds of comments among Internet users.
Amidst the commotion, the comments that stood out the most among Internet users were those issued by the family of comedian Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo. On the one hand, Óscar Ortiz de Pinedo wrote on his verified account on the social network X, formerly Twitter, identified with the name @oscarortizdp:
“Oh, gosh, I didn’t know my family was a national hero. Mrs. Josefa Ortiz de Pinedo. Only in the 4T,” reads her post.

On the other hand, Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo, the comedian and producer, also joined the satire on his verified profile on the social network Instagram. In this case, by taking up an image with the bust of the Corregidora of Querétaro although with his own face, he wrote through the account of the program “Una familia de diez” that:
“Long live Doña Josefa Ortiz de Pinedo, a brave family leader who sacrificed her own well-being to help ten starving insurgents,” she wrote in reference to the television series in which she participated alongside actors such as Eduardo Manzano, Andrea Torre, Zully Keith, among others.
