Paraguay: Report where journalist Roberto Maidana comments: - "Mariscal Francisco Solano Lopez Avenue, this splendid April morning here in Asunción, Paraguay, at the moment when with this escort of which the cavalry lancers of the ACA CARAYA regiment are part, the presidents of Paraguay, General Alfredo Stroessner and of the Argentine Republic, Lieutenant General Jorge Rafael Videla arrive standing in the open car decorated with the flags of the two sister nations; they return the greetings of the public of the immense number that has gathered in this place to attend an important military parade. The car stops and immediately in front of the official box they are received by the authorities and then they access the tribune where all the other members of both governments and the wives of the two presidents are seated. The small drums and trumpets give a truly sympathetic note to this parade. After the passage of the military institutes where the future officers of the Paraguayan army are forged, the training center for reserve officers with A colorful presentation. The final part of this parade, worth remembering, has very few precedents on a date that is not part of Paraguay's national holiday calendar, but has been attended to pay tribute to the Argentine Republic through the state visit of the president, to the regiment escorting the Paraguayan head of state, including armored units. And at the close of the brilliant military parade held in Asunción, we see light tanks. And thus concluding the parade, they withdraw together to access the same covered vehicle that brought them here, covered by the flags of Argentina and Paraguay: Presidents Stroessner, who climbs in first, and Videla, who immediately accompanies him, as can be seen.
