This is a continuation of the Separation Day, since on this day the Panamanians convinced the Colombian forces that were in Colon, not to interfere with the separation of Panama. On November tenth, Panama celebrates the Day of the first cry for independence, when in 1821 the legendary Rufina Alfaro led the march in Los Santos, during which she screamed “Long live freedom”.
