On 15 and 16 September in Mexico we celebrate our Independence start. It is when the conspiracy is discovered, Dona Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez warned him Hidalgo that this (the conspiracy) discovered, just in the night of September 15.

Then, it was Hidalgo who took the decision to begin the independence movement the morning of September 16, and finally it was then that Hidalgo rang the bell in Dolores Guanajuato, and gathered in this way to people for arm themselves in value and to rebel against the authorities of that time, the Viceroyalty.

  

According to tradition, to remember that fact, every year at 11 pm on September 15 the President of the Mexican Republic gives the cry and flap the flag of Mexico on the main balcony of the National Palace in Mexico City.
