Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.- This February 27 is a date of national rejoicing as the 179th Anniversary of National Independence, 1844-2023, is celebrated, which is why the Dominican Judo Confederation, Condojudo, with all its grassroots organizations unite this event that represents the dream come true of the patricians Juan Pablo Duarte, Francisco del Rosario Sanchez and Matias Ramon Mella, among other distinguished personalities of the time.
And it is that the trabucazo of Matias Ramón Mella at the Puerta de la Misericordia and subsequent hoisting of the tricolor flag by Francisco del Rosario Sanchez at the Puerta del Conde that February 27, 1844 sealed the definition of Dominican nationality after 22 years of occupation, 1822-1844, by Haiti.
Various were the battles won by the Dominicans for the expulsion of the Haitian troops from the territory of the Dominican Republic and subsequent annexation attempts in favor of other foreign powers, all of this and much more being overcome by far, allowing the National Sovereignty of all powers to this day foreign.
Loor to our independence heroes.
