As usual, the parade will start next Monday from the capital’s Zócalo after the official ceremony and the salute to the flag, which will be led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

As has been the case since the first parade, this year, four of the most important passages of the Revolution will be staged, but with a smaller contingent of uniformed soldiers than in other celebrations because there are thousands of soldiers assigned to the rescue work in Acapulco after the passing of Hurricane Otis.

One of those stages will be dedicated to highlighting the role of women in the Revolution, without whose presence the insurgency would have been impossible, and who were combatants, nurses, cooks, and everything else that a man is not capable of doing despite how brave he was.

Of course, the main tribute will be to the most distinguished combatants such as Amelia Robles Avila, who reached the rank of colonel and during the war always acted disguised as a man.

This year there will be a parade of more than two thousand elements of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) and contingents of the native peoples who fought so hard in that heroic deed alongside brave men such as Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa.
