The chief executive expressed his desire that the statue be the beginning of a controversy, a seed of culture and a tree of concern to learn about the history of Yucatan. He contributed to the enhancement of the ceremony the learned word of the historian Jorge Ignacio Rubio Mañé, director of the General Archive of the Nation. His speech - a current judgment of the life and work of Fray Diego - was a request for justice to the memory of the second bishop of Yucatan. “We have no right,” he said, “to be very harsh in judging Landa. We still do not know how to properly preserve our cultural values in archives and libraries. Books and documents are still seen as old junk that disturbs the march of fanatical progress. The merchants know how to exploit the wealth of our history, they look for it to sell it to the highest bidder.” WARNING.— Happy New Year 1972. We will all enjoy a holiday today. Tomorrow the Journal will not be published. This edition consists of 30 pages, including the Sunday sections, and costs 80 cents. (From "Diario de Yucatán" number 16,755)Social life
