Natalicio de Artigas

(Artigas's Birthday) and Día del Nunca Más (Day of Never Again). Two things collide on this date: the birthday of the nation's founding father and the solemn remembrance of the 1973 coup that began the dictatorship. The dictatorship killed over 200, tortured thousands, and held political prisoners for over a decade. "Nunca Más" means "Never Again," and the ceremonies are quiet and angry in the way that only a country of 3.5 million people who all know someone who was affected can be.
