Although they did not make it easy for us. They spent 2 years camped, surrounding the cities of C\u00e1diz and San Fernando, bombing an overcrowded city due to war refugees from all over Spain.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, up to this day we are still having names, stories and songs from that time. For example, &#8220;the pine forest of the French&#8221; zone, in Chiclana de la Frontera, which was one of the sites chosen by Napoleon&#8217;s army to camp. Or the story of Lola &#8220;la piconera&#8221; and her songs, or the origin of the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/cadizexperiences.com\/en\/french-omelette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">French omelette<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>But above all, what we retain with more pride is that, after an attempt to conquer, what was born was a letter to freedom. It was here, in the city of C\u00e1diz, where the first Spanish Constitution was signed. La Pepa. So-called because it was signed on March 12, 1812, the day of San Jos\u00e9 (Saint Joseph).<\/p>\n<p>The most modern constitution of that time. The one that eliminated the absolutism of the king, abolished slavery and gave basic rights to citizens (but just men. It was modern, but not that good). The one that created democracy. The example of the following constitutions in Europe and America (does <em>Sim\u00f3n de Bolivar<\/em> name sound familiar to you?)<\/p>\n<p>Little is said about this constitution and the people of C\u00e1diz, who were the true heroes and heroines of that historic moment. A constitution that was mistreated and lasted just over two years, when King Ferdinand VII repealed it for his own benefit and dissolved the courts. Yes, after all the efforts of the people and their struggle, the King who runaway when he screwed up after swallowing Napoleon&#8217;s lie, decided to return to his totalitarianism (how soon things are forgotten when it is convenient, huh?)<\/p>\n<p>A constitution to which anti-freedom politicians wanted to use the cry of citizenship by celebrating freedom in a pejorative way to point out those irresponsible or carefree situations.<\/p>\n<p>But that cry will continue to echo with pride to celebrate the ideas of freedom and social justice.<\/p>\n<p>LONG LIVE LA PEPA!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If we are proudly boast about anything in this city, is the victory over the French when they tried to besiege it in 1810.
