This coming week, we’re tipping our hats to one of Mexico’s most iconic figures, Benito Juárez, the former President who played a monumental role in shaping the nation. Not only did he champion the separation of Church and State, but he also made significant amendments to Mexico’s 1857 Constitution and led the country to victory against the French Invasion under Napoleon III. Talk about a resume!
While Juárez’s actual birthday falls on March 21, the festivities have been nudged to Monday to gift us with that sweet long weekend vibe. It’s all in the spirit of boosting tourism and giving everyone a chance to celebrate this national hero’s legacy in style.
Just a heads up for the employers out there: if you’re planning on keeping your team on the clock during this holiday, remember the rule of thumb—triple salary. It’s a small price to pay for honoring the man who helped carve the path for modern Mexico. So, whether you’re taking a mini-vacation or just enjoying a day off, let’s raise a glass to Benito Juárez and the enduring spirit of resilience he represents. Happy long weekend, everyone!
