Commentary
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla (1753-1811) est un religieux aux idées libérales. Célèbre pour son Grito de Dolores, appel à la sédition contre le gouvernement de Joseph Bonaparte, il devient vite le “père de la Patrie” initiateur de la guerre d’indépendance. En 1811, il est capturé, jugé et exécuté par les royalistes. Il sera aussi surnommé “El Zorro”.
