It is necessary to go back to 1974, when Hugo Banzer Suárez was president. On the other hand, according to the Government, parents have a tolerance of half a working day.
March 19 in Bolivia is reserved for celebrating fathers. It is a date instituted in the Bolivian calendar and recognized by the State. In fact, this Friday the Ministry of Labor issued a statement indicating that this Saturday, March 19, they will enjoy a half day of work tolerance.
"This a just tribute to all dads, they will have a shorter working day," said the General Director of Labor, Yecid Mollinedo, in a press release.
But, why does Bolivia celebrate fathers on this day? It is necessary to go back to May 24, 1974, when Hugo Banzer Suárez was president and ordered, through a supreme decree, that March 19 is to honor the role of fathers in the family nucleus and in the development of the country.
This tribute was inspired by 'Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary', who is a central character in the Catholic faith. The Catholic Church celebrates St. Joseph on March 19.
And in honor of the father of Jesus' upbringing, whose trade, according to the Bible, was carpentry, the Carpenter's Day is also celebrated in our country on March 19.
This date also coincides with Radio and Television Workers' Day.
