LIVE: Mexico’s Military on Display in Independence Day Parade Celebrations
Mexico marked its independence festivities with a military parade downtown Mexico City on Monday (September 16) presided over for the last time in his term by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Members of the Armed Forces and heavy machinery and weaponry were put on display in a 3-hour-long parade in Zocalo square under the watch of Lopez Obrador and president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, who will be sworn in to the post on October 1. The head of the Navy, Jose Rafael Ojeda, addressed their future commander-in-chief saying Mexicans are ready for the first female head of state. The parade ended with the military band playing the traditional song “Mexico lindo y querido” (“Beautiful and beloved Mexico”) to bid a farewell to Lopez Obrador, local media reported.
