Narro Céspedes emphasized the great historical value of the printing facilities of this publishing house, the space where the Mexican Constitution of 1917 was formally printed. On those pages, he noted, the popular demands for land, education, and labor rights that govern the country today began to be legally set down.
He also made a special mention of the historic printing press preserved in the legislative building, which was donated at the time by the newspaper to the Congress of the Union.
"Today we remember this newspaper EL UNIVERSAL and extend our recognition for making the right to information a reality for all Mexican women and men. This recognition has specific recipients: the reporters, the photographers, its cartoonists, those who work in its newsroom, its printing facilities, and its distribution; women and men whose effort sustains a journalistic institution," he concluded.
