Current framework. It repeals Decree 474 of 2004 and contrary provisions; unspecified movable dates require a Presidency bulletin.
The fixed date and paid-holiday status follow the current presidential decree. Essential continuous services remain governed by Article 43(c).
No separate nationwide bank-closure calendar is inferred; institutions may publish operational arrangements.

Observance does not create an additional day off beyond the supported occurrence.
Check current service notices before time-sensitive travel or appointments.
