Plaza de Mayo

Question

In the song ?Deseos De Cosas Imposibles? by La Oreja de Van Gogh, which I am listening to on Lomastv, there is the following line - ?Aquí se espera como esperan en la Plaza de Mayo.? My question is what is significant about how people wait at the Plaza de Mayo?

any help is appreciated.

Saludos, Jim

Answer 1

Plaza de Mayo is a square located in front of the Casa Rosada (Presidential Home) in Buenos Aires, which was chosen by the Madres de Mayo to protest against the government for the atrocities committed against their young adult children during the military regime in Argentina between 1976 and 1983.

The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo tirelessly await the return of the thousand of dissident children that disappeared during the military dictatorship and today is one of the largest political organizations in Argentina.

Here is a link on the subject.

Answer 2

How or why?

It is probably something to do with the Bolivar led liberation of some countries from the conquistadores in the early 1800s

If it is about the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina this will give you some insight.
