On Saturday morning, the mayor Francisco Azcué participated in the ceremony for the 264th anniversary of the 6th Tank Cavalry Regiment “Blandengues”, one of the oldest in the country. The ceremony was led by Lieutenant Colonel Jorge Andrés Camarino.
In his remarks, the mayor highlighted what the local Regiment represents institutionally, supporting the city whenever necessary and working jointly with the Municipality of Concordia on various actions, such as the Trade School.
“Beyond the relationship we have and this formal act, what this institution represents is important: its permanent vocation for service, its love and dedication to the Homeland, and to defending it. Always supporting the city in difficult times, as was the case with the recent flood, but also working together at the Trade School, a learning space for our young people”.
For his part, Camarino thanked the Municipality and the community of Concordia for their support of the local Regiment. “That marks what the Blandengues mean to the city. We thank the mayor, the residents, and all the organizations that have visited us on this day, which is so important for our institutional history”.
Present at the ceremony were the Secretary of Health, Dr. Diego Sauré; the Undersecretary of Education, Professor Carlos Gatto; authorities from local security forces and the Army of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay; Malvinas veterans; family members, and the general public.
