Time for Insurrectionary History!

Enough of commemorating political and religious figures.

Let’s remember those who rebelled :)

Policarpa Salavarrieta, Colombian independence heroine

This morning in 1817, a #Colombian #seamstress was shot in #Bogota for #spying on the #Spanish forces fighting to quell #SouthAmerica’s #Bolivarian #independence movements.

Policarpa Salavarrieta — it was the name her brother used for her; her legal given name and origin are romantically lost — was infiltrated into Bogota during the #reconquista, when a #Spain recovering from Napoleon’s intrusion deployed in force to quash the #separatist aspirations of its #NewWorld #colonies.

It was the day of #SimonBolivar, but Spain had completed its apparent pacification of New Granada* in 1816, and established a stronghold in Bogota. #Subversives had to mind their P’s and Q’s.

Although she was a known agitator in the city of Guadas, “La Pola” could slip into Bogota without drawing attention.

There, she used her skills as a domestic to hang around royalist households, sewing up clothes while snooping around, and helping #revolutionaries recruit soldiers.

She was arrested when the Spanish busted the network, (the link is in Spanish) and shot publicly with her lover, Alejo Sabarain, and a number** of others — all men, none of them half so well-remembered or beloved as Salavarrieta. She was supposed to have ignored the priests murmuring te deums in her ear on the scaffold in order to exhort the onlookers to resistance.

Over the years to come, she would become an emblematic #martyr of independence; just see how many times her theme is visited in this history of Colombian painting (Spanish again). She’s also the only historical (not mythological/allegorical) woman ever used on Colombian currency.

As will be readily surmised, of course, she merits her tribute because the movement in whose service she died soon rallied and carried the day.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

A vaccine passport means that if you have been double jabbed and have Covid you can go to events, but if you have not been double jabbed and don’t have Covid you cannot go to events.

Minister Vandenbroucke: “You can absolutely deny freedoms to people who do not allow themselves to be vaccinated”

According to Minister of Health Frank Vandenbroucke (Vooruit), it is not feasible to make a corona vaccine for the entire population. But someone who does not want to be vaccinated can be denied freedoms. That is what the minister said in Terzake.
