27FEB25 🇪🇨 'This day also commemorates the Ecuadorian Army.' 'Why is Civics Day commemorated on February 27 in Ecuador? / ¿Por qué se conmemora el 27 de febrero el Día del Civismo en Ecuador? - February 27, 2025 Editorial by Teleamazonas.com - Every February 27, Ecuadorians celebrate Civics Day, as a commemoration of the Battle of Tarqui, which was a military confrontation that took place in 1829.⚔
This battle, which was fought at Portete de Tarqui, in the province of Azuay, in Ecuador, was one of the most decisive battles in the history of Gran Colombia and Ecuador.
The battle occurred between Ecuadorian and Peruvian forces, it is a key event in the history of the country. This confrontation was part of the territorial conflicts that arose after the independence of Gran Colombia, when Ecuador sought to consolidate its sovereignty.
On February 27, 1829, the troops of Gran Colombia, commanded by Antonio José de Sucre and Juan José Flores, defeated the Peruvian forces, forcing them to retreat and accept the conditions imposed in the Treaty of Girón.
A year later, on May 13, 1830, Ecuador ceased to be part of Gran Colombia and was born as an independent republic.
Then, on February 27, 1981, President Jaime Roldós determined by Executive Decree that every February 27 be commemorated as the Day of National Unity, as a call for patriotism and union among all Ecuadorians.
This date not only evokes the heroism of the fighters who defended the homeland, but also serves as a reminder of the importanceof citizen participation in the construction of a solid and committed democracy. This day also commemorates the Ecuadorian Army.
In addition, this day also remembers Civics Day, which was established with the aim of promoting awareness in the population about their rights and duties as citizens...." - https://www.teleamazonas.com/dia-civismo-batalla-tarqui-27-febrero-ecuador/
