The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, and the Director General of the National Lottery, Olivia Salomón, unveiled a commemorative bill honoring the '2026 Year of Margarita Maza.' The ceremony took place in Guelatao de Juárez, Oaxaca, as part of the 220th anniversary of the birth of Benito Juárez García. The event was also attended by the Secretary of Women for the Government of Mexico, Citlalli Hernández Mora, and the Constitutional Governor of the State of Oaxaca, Salomón Jara Cruz. The 'Niñas Gritonas de Lotería Nacional' launched the traditional chant: '2026, year of Margarita Maza, year of Margarita Maza, grand prize, grand prize.' The issuance of the lottery ticket aims to honor Juárez's legacy and recognize his outstanding role as a key strategist and symbol of resistance during the French Intervention. Olivia Salomón stated that for the National Lottery family, an institution that has accompanied the most transcendent moments of the country's transformations for over 255 years, it is a privilege to be with the President and to participate in this commemorative bill dedicated to the Year of Margarita Maza. On the bicentennial of her birth (1826-1871), this tribute highlights Margarita Maza Parada as a historical figure who actively participated in the construction of Mexico's secular state and the consolidation of the Mexican Republic, breaking with the traditional molds of her time. Alongside President Benito Juárez, she shared the political and personal challenges derived from the War of Reform. During her family's exile in the United States, the Mexican heroine demonstrated fortitude and dignity, maintaining family unity while the country faced the imposition of the Second Empire led by Maximilian I. Her role was key as a symbol of strength and loyalty to republican principles. Two centuries after her birth, her memory remains an example of resilience, commitment, and love for Mexico, reminding us that the nation's history is also built with the courage and determination of women who left a deep mark on the country's destiny.
