I am glad to read... --- I am not the only one that thinks that National Days are sometimes a burden. Focusing on this activity as the ultimate event of all can be very damaging. This is because resources are diverted from different departments of the embassy to carry out an event that is held every year and that therefore, no longer has so many benefits after a certain time. On the other hand, having different cultural festivals helps to overcome this situation. In the case of Mexico, we also use the Day of the Dead, the Day of the Revolution, May 5 and other festivities to promote economic promotion agendas.
