Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto is commemorating
Cinco de Mayo by urging his countrymen to tackle current problems
with the same "unity and commitment" that defeated the
French 151 years ago.
PenaNieto says the holiday celebrates principles that, in his words,
"encourage the political forces and federal government to pursue
a transformative reform agenda that the country demands and needs."
Cincode Mayo marks the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when Mexicantroops defeated a French army of Napoleon III, then considered the
mightiest military in the world.
The
anniversary was marked Sunday with a military parade in the city of
Puebla, where the battle took place. It is considered a bigger
holiday in the U.S., celebrating Mexican heritage with parades and
revelry in many major cities.
